Arts for All invites you to join Cayden Marie for a Street Art and Mural presentation and class during Mt Harvest Festival. We will kickoff a mural created by teens in our community at The Paonia Skate Park Saturday September 27th at 4 pm with a presentation by Cayden on the history of Street Art and Youth. Together we will learn about the ancient wall paintings through to modern street art movements of today. The team will then begin the process of preparing the surface and creating their work of art.

Teacher BIO
As a young muralist and freelance artist from Hotchkiss Colorado, Cayden started painting murals when she was 15, she began by collaborating and learning from other painters and muralists. By the time she was 16 she had a lot of commissions and made some of her first big works.
Previously, she had gotten in trouble for tagging and vandalism and was given the opportunity to express herself through her art in a safe space by her school and family. A lot of young artists don't have that support, her goal is to give other young artists the same supportive space she had.
At 19, Cayden has many opportunities because of her art. Perhaps this project will inspire upcoming artists to pursue their own artistic journey.
