The Grassy Knoll Gallery presents KNOW POWER: Street Art for Social Change.

Join us to celebrate the enlightenment of young minds, experience the empowerment of artful learning, and explore the impact of street inspired
art for change. Jackson Middle School students present a night of art for awareness, as they present their graffiti interpretations of conflict in Africa. These
perceptive adolescents have spent the month of April examining the roots and results of conflict in Africa, the origins of graffiti and how it can be used to promote social and political awareness.

Aden Catalani, a renowned street artist, has guided students in their use of stencils and spray paint, bright washes of color and organic textures to create vibrant gems of self expression and empowerment.

All profits from the students’ masterpieces will go to the African charity that students choose as a solution to the conflicts they’ve studied (TBA).
