What is
Colors of Connection?
Colors of Connection is designed to bring the community together to create a large-scale collaborative mural that symbolizes connection, support, resilience, and hope for youth transitioning out of foster care.
The featured medium that will be turned into a beautiful piece of art will be the iconic luggage of foster care – THE TRASH BAG.
The completed collection will be displayed in May and also at Second Shift’s annual Swag the Bag, Trash Bag Art & Fashion Show event in November, highlighting the community’s commitment to youth empowerment.
Who can participate?
EVERYONE!!!
Individuals, businesses, community members, artists, and organizations are invited to be part of this meaningful project by creating, sponsoring, or promoting the artwork that will inspire change and advocacy for foster youth.
