So, it's been a while since we've popped our head on the scene. A big thank you to Kayla OBryan and the city of La Porte for hosting the 3rd annual art walk. A special thanks to Adrian Avila and Alan Davis for persistently checking in on me and getting me out of my cave. This tear Adrian did a live mural and I did anninteractive piece for the community to participate with. It seemed to be a success with both kids and adults alike. It's our mission at the Cultural Canvas to bring joy through art to our community through projects like this. Give us a visit at our website Www.theculturalcanvaslp.org.
