Artist In Residency

 

 

 

 

 

“The Peace Garden Song and Mural Project” is a multidisciplinary, mindfulness and performing arts artist-in-residence opportunity for your school, temple, or institution.   The program was developed by Singer/Songwriter Scott Massarsky and muralist Jennifer Levine based on their shared commitment to engaging children in peacemaking through the arts. During this residency students will collaborate on inspiration for an original song, then using images from the song, design and paint a giant mural on the themes of peace, cooperation, and community. The final product offers the school an original song and a permanent piece of art that declares loudly and proudly that the school values peace and safety for all inside and all who enter. Murals are executed directly onto the wall or on canvas for portability. Projects adapted for
K-12.  We also offer a follow-up residency where students get to record their song in a professional setting.
