The You Will Rise Project is partnering with Palenke Arts for a hands-on workshop for middle school students who are (or were) victims of bullying. Artists from the community will work with students, inspiring them to create raw, uncensored works about their experiences with bullying. The resulting collection, including collaborative installation pieces and individual creations, will be presented in a multi-media pop up exhibition at Palenke Arts that is open to the public.

Workshop week 1: Sunday, April 8, 12pm - 3pm
Workshop week 2: Sunday, April 15, 12pm - 3pm
Workshop week 3: Sunday, April 22, 12pm - 3pm
Workshop week 4: Sunday, April 29, 12pm - 3pm
Popup Exhibit: Sunday, May 6, 1pm - 3pm

There is no fee to participate in the #ArtAgainstBullying workshop and all supplies will be provided. Palenke Arts is located at 1713 Broadway Ave., Seaside, California.

All forms of art have the capacity to heal our mind and body -- even for victims of bullying. Thanks to an online movement called the You Will Rise Project, teens have an outlet to share original artwork capturing their personal experiences with bullying and connect with other contributors.
