The Power of Vision Community Mural Project (POV) is a project-based community mural program of Hope Community established in 2004. We use mural creation as an avenue for building artistic skill, leadership, and relationships in community. POV serves as a training ground for emerging artists, centering indigenous artists and/or artists of color, to gain experience and be mentored in working with other community members to produce high quality public art. We believe process matters as much as the final mural. This process includes community engagement and listening, identifying foremost themes and ideas, collective design, community feedback, and community participation in mural creation.
POV is part of Hope Community’s art and creative strategy department, Art of Radical Collaboration (ARC). ARC is about growing creative networks, skills, and our collective creative capacity to impact positive change. Foundational elements to our work is art and creative strategy, organizing and community building, place-keeping and listening. ARC is home also to the Transformational Creative Strategies Training (TRCSTR).
