Art of Hope: Live Mural at Trinity

How do we respond peacefully to violence in our lives?  In our communities? Do we passively accept

it?  Do we fuel the cycle with our own anger?  Artists Derek “Focus”

Smith from the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota, and Aaron “AMP” Pearcy of

Rapid City, SD, have been actively exploring the question of how to make and

use art to respond peacefully to violence. Trinity Church is honored to

host them when, over a weekend, these artists will create a temporary mural as

a statement of peace, hope and love over violence, despair and hatred. 

They will be creating live, outside Trinity, all three days. Stop by each

day to see the work evolve!
