"Wall Together" Community Art Project

The Palm Beach County Armory Arts Center located in West Palm Beach, Florida, takes on a new look when young people of all ages and backgrounds came together in an initiative that used art to promote unity as a creative theme. Beginning in 2006, the Institute documented a diverse group of young people who collaborated and gained experience in realizing, creating and contributing to the future of art design in our community. This was accomplished by joining together to establish a permanent monument that memorializes their effort in enhancing public spaces. The initiative was made possible with grants from the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, Publix and New York music mogul, Russell Simmon's Rush Foundation.
