Avanza 1 Students & Proyecto Mural Artists Interview
Avanza students continue their commitment to the community especially during these uncertain times. This time, they, in collaboration with Land Watch, Mecca Bend, and the City of Bend are working on the creation of mural art for the Franklin Avenue pedestrian tunnel in Bend, OR. It is called "Proyecto Mural". They interviewed two local artists in charge of the execution of the art project. We invite you to learn about the experiences that our Avanza students participate in as this project progresses.
