Art has always been a powerful tool for teaching, storytelling, and preserving culture. In this engaging conversation, Art as Education explores how public art and muralism serve as platforms for learning, community engagement, and social transformation. Featuring BLKOUT Walls artists and creative leaders, the panel will examine how artists use their work to share history, amplify underrepresented voices, inspire critical thinking, and create meaningful dialogue in public spaces.

Panelists will discuss the responsibility and opportunity artists have as educators, the role of art in shaping cultural identity, and how creative expression can empower communities while fostering connections across generations. Attendees will gain insight into the ways public art can extend beyond aesthetics to become a catalyst for awareness, understanding, and lasting impact.

Key Topics:

• Storytelling through public art
• Preserving history and cultural narratives
• Art as a tool for social change and civic engagement
• Engaging youth and communities through creativity
• The artist's role as educator, advocate, and changemaker

This conversation is ideal for artists, educators, students, community leaders, and anyone interested in the intersection of creativity, culture, and learning.
