Better Together

During Gallery Night, multidisciplinary artist Marco Gonzalez (pictured above) unveiled the new, large-scale mural that he created with help from 6th grade students. The theme for the mural is “We Are Better Together” and was a months-long process to concept, sketch, and paint. 

In the weeks leading up to Gallery Night, Gonzalez worked with each student to personalize a portion of the mural with their name. “It’s been fun to watch the students find the value in art, and to teach them skills and concepts has been really rewarding,” said Gonzalez. His visit was organized by Sarah Markwald, Middle School art teacher.
