Together We Dream
Co-creating hope during the pandemic
When ASAP! summer campers couldn’t be together for the first time in 21 years, we guided their creation of twin murals. They shared their dreams for the future from two different cities.

To get campers started, we created a video which walked them through an artistic process to imagine and illustrate their dream of the future.
On site, each camper filled in one of the interlocking shapes with their artwork. Overwhelmingly, artists expressed messages of hope, love, peace, beauty, and togetherness.
“The thought behind it is peace… I usually paint when a lot is going through my mind. It relieves me.”
