Wrap It Up Youth Video & Mural Project

I am working on an invite for the Wrap It Up Video & Mural project. There will be a street screening of the youth videos on May 4th in San Jose's Japantown. It has been a real pleasure to work with Mr. D.J. Ashford and his students at Burnett Middle School. I am hoping that we have a lot of people come out and celebrate the students' and public artists' works. The videos are part of the Next Vista video library collection: http://www.nextvista.org/projects/wrapitup/ and all the videos can be seen here.

Lesson plans can be found on the project site: http://wrapitupmurals.weebly.com/

I have 19 mesh murals to sew. I am excited to get them up on the fence mural site. Soon the youth video interviews will be embedded in the Japantown Mural Project mobile app. The app will link to the videos posted on Next Vista.

Thanks to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation Donor Circle for the Arts for funding and thank you to Next Vista for Learning for fiscal sponsorship of the project.
