Arrowhead Alliance of Artists With Disabilities (AAAWD), in preparation for National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2011, collaborated with CforAT and Ed Roberts Campus to facilitate participation in the Disability Mural Project for those whose lives have intersected with disability in the Duluth, MN area.

Over 300 New Mural Tiles Created Since Our Workshops Began on May 31, 2011!

AAAWD recently wrapped up phase one of our project! We facilitated 24 Mural tile workshops in 3 cities (Duluth, Cloquet, Two Harbors) in collaboration with 19 area partners including high schools, UMD, businesses, agencies and community groups (see blog side panel for complete list).

Thanks to everyone who participated in creating over 300 tiles for the upcoming October 19 exhibit of the Disability Mural Project Duluth at the DECC. Hope to see you all there!
