Youth Mural Camp with Chris Pecora

In this hands-on multi-day mural camp, youth will collaborate with a local mural artist to design and paint a mural from start to finish.

Through guided workshops, we will explore mural techniques, visual storytelling, and teamwork while creating a vibrant, community-focused artwork. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a passion for creativity! The finished piece will be a colourful, lasting legacy, installed beside the library in town to be shared with the people of Golden.
