Mural Fest 2025 had a new element. We partnered with @onekindactaday and local artist @connor.weight to bring a fresh, youthful perspective to the streets of South Salt Lake.
The Collaboration
Connor didn't just paint a wall; he mentored the next generation of creators from the Woodrow Wilson Elementary @PromiseSSL afterschool program. From brainstorming designs in the classroom to picking up brushes on-site, these talented students were involved in every step of the process.
The Location
You can find the "Be Kind" mural at 220 E Morris Ave, right outside Whitlock Park. It’s now a permanent fixture for the youth, their families, and our entire community to enjoy for years to come.
Highlights from the project
- Hands-on Learning: Students learned the ropes of professional, large-scale muralism.
- Community Support: Even the Mayor stopped by to speak with the kids about the impact of their work!
- A Simple Message: Sponsored by One Kind Act a Day, this mural serves as a vibrant, daily reminder that kindness truly makes a difference.
- Come see the finished masterpiece and celebrate the hard work of these young artists!
