Episode 136: Making Meaningful Art Experiences through Partnership

Do you have a local arts center in your community? Have you considered working with them on a project but don’t know where to start? Susan Martin, Executive Director of the Bower Center for the Arts, and Melissa Friedewald, Art Teacher from Liberty High School in Bedford, Virginia, join The Creativity Department in this episode to inspire you! Melissa’s students and The Bower Center worked together to create a public mural for the Bower Center for the Arts. Listen in as they dive into the details of how student artists were selected for the project, how they collaborated on developing the LOVEworks mural, and more.
