Description

Travis Park Church 175th Mural Project Launch & Paint Party The Downtown community is invited to kick-off the painting of one of San Antonio's largest murals titled ALL ARE WELCOME, LOVE CONQUERS HATE. Five* artists have come together to work alongside Travis Park Church to create a long-lasting, larger-than-life piece resembling the church's historic stained glass windows and echoing a message of hope, acceptance, justice, inclusion, and love. The event will also mark the International Day of Peace, "a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. In 2021, as we heal from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are inspired to think creatively and collectively about how to help everyone recover better, how to build resilience, and how to transform our world into one that is more equal, more just, equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and healthier."
