Garden of Growth Mural (2022)
Painted by Leslie "Dime" Lopez and Inbal Rubin

The "Garden of Growth" Mural was painted by Leslie "Dime" Lopez and Inbal Rubin using inspiration from art pieces created by youth during BAY-Peaces virtual Healing Circulos in 2022. This year, BAY-Peace Youth ARTS Program did research on the solutions to violence in our schools, homes and streets. In addition to the surveys they collected, youth used these healing circulos as a space for youth to imagine where safety and healing truly comes from. After the final mural was completed, Youth ARTS Members invited community members to pick up care-packages and take free portraits in front of the mural. Take a look at some of the Inso pieces and final community portraits!

'Wellness is life' Wild pasting poster project (2024)

In 2024, BAY-Peace launched the HYPE Youth Heal program. This program was our first Drop-in and SF Based program. Every month, the youth had wellness education workshops, skills-based trainings a healing-circulo and poster making. During the 8 month program, the youth designed the 8 posters shown below, to serve as a visual representation for Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Social and Spiritual wellness. In addition to these posters being on display at the HYPE Youth Heal center, we also conducted a wild pasting campaign, posting nearly 50 18"x24" sized posters around the SF Potrero and Mission areas.
