Murals in Mind - Love Shines by YaLa Ford
Channel: St. Pete Arts Alliance
Date: 2023-02-14

The Murals in Mind Gallery is a project of the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance (SPAA) activating 12 existing SHINE murals with virtual performances (music, drama, poetry, song, dance, meditation) to be experienced in-person in front of each mural. 

SPAA is working to evidence the power of art to help heal, communicate and change the way in which we perceive our world. With the help of our outstanding muralists and performing artists, this collaborative gallery promotes wellness through art. Murals in Mind (MIM) shifts negative perceptions and offers hope and help for day-to-day living. 

SPAA is grateful to all those that have made this project possible, including the generous support of the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay, Love IV Lawrence and the expertise of Dr. Paige Dickenson from Eckerd College, who is trained in trauma and art therapy, for making this project come to life.
