Students from Freedom Preparatory Academy, Booker T.
Washington High School, G.W. Carver High School and Central High School will
compete to have their poetry included on public art that will cover an
abandoned property located at 952 McLemore.
Three local judges will select the winning poetry to be
included on the boards, and local artist Darlene Newman will lead the painting
of the boards that will cover the property.
This project, sponsored by Renasant Bank, is part of UAC’s
Public Art Outreach program, which provides disadvantaged communities an
opportunity to enhance and revitalize their neighborhoods through public art.
This free event will be held at Memphis Slim
Collaboratory House on Saturday, May 21, 2016, at 1130 College Street from 1 to 3 p.m. The boards will be
painted from 4 to 7 p.m.
For more information or to volunteer to paint the boards,
please contact Siphne Sylve.
