On Friday, September 27th, COMHAR hosted a Mural Arts dedication in partnership with the Porch Light program. The mural artist, Marisol de la Garza worked with COMHAR program members to create the mural entitled “The Path Through Connection”. Jane Golden, Executive Director of the Mural Arts Program, mural artist Marisol de la Garza, Trapeta B. Mayson, COMHAR’s Interim CEO, and Malik Gray from DBHIDS all spoke about the importance of Art in the Recovery process. Their words were brought to life when members who participated in the creation of the mural shared how art has become a valued element of their personal recovery journeys.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony followed the presentations. The mural is located on the Lehigh Ave. wall of COMHAR’s administration building at 100 W. Lehigh Ave.
