MGR Foundation/Murals Program

Murals is a program that uses music, art, drama, and dance to help students to deal with the issue of violence in their lives. As a component to our program, the MGR Foundation uses college "artistic mentors" to help guide the students through the artistic process, build relationships, and offer their insight and experience relating to violence.
