Join us August 23-28 for the CLEVELAND WALLS! International mural program, which includes free family-friendly activities, performances and artist talks, in addition to 20 public murals that will be created during the event. CWRU students Jessica Long and Lauryn Smith worked throughout summer on the week-long public art festival as part of the Keithley Fellowship in Community Engaged Art History with LAND studio.

As part of the program that Jess and Lauryn put together, Professor Erin Benay will be moderating an Art Talk entitled, “Taking Action: Social Change through Artistic Practice,” on Tuesday, August 24th from 6-7pm at the Cleveland Walls! Headquarters Stage at 7113 Euclid Ave. Come listen to Prof. Benay, artists Kaplan Bunce and Max Sansing, and activist Amanda King discuss the many ways artists and community members incorporate activism, social justice, and community engagement within their artistic practices.
