The Star City Harbinger has posted an important story about an amazing example of how the arts and local law enforcement are working together through Roanoke Youth Arts Connection.
Roanoke Youth Arts Connections partners the Roanoke Police Department, The Arts Council of the Blue Ridge, the City of Roanoke's Public Art Program, area youth and local artists. Youth, that might otherwise be engaged in disconstructive activities during the summer months, will be redirected (and employed so they're learning job/life skills) through mural activities. The first mural will be located in an interior wall of Center in the Square's parking garage on Campbell Ave.
I should have included information about Roanoke Youth Arts Connection in my commentary to The Roanoke Times about the "Must See TV" event and regret the ommission.
Thank you to Hank Bostwick for contacting me and for posting this story!
