In the beginning...

The summer of 2010, I (Desiree Bender) am working with Creative Artist Workshop for Kids painting a mural and working as a teaching artist in New York City. For the next 6 weeks I will be leading a team of local teens to complete a mural in Harlem River Park. The mural will be on a long brick retaining wall that is broken up into 4 sections for 4 different teams to complete each mural. Each team is lead by a teaching artist, an artist assistant and about 10 to 15 young adults.
