My Story
The goal of the Elevate Arts Foundation Community School Mural Project(s) is to raise awareness for the visual arts as well as raise morale and build a culture that makes attending school exciting. The excitement will be felt in the hallways as well as seen in the schools’ improved attendance.
Homestead Mural Project began to
take shape late in 2022. Art by Zoe,
an alumnus of HSM got it all started
with "Good Vibes Only," seen here.
GO Gators!
