Featured Presenter
Building Community Through Art: Collaboration, Connection, and Empowerment
Join Los Angeles-based street artist Davia King as she collaborates with the students of Western High School in Anaheim, CA, to bring a distinct and colorful mural to their campus. This presentation will show Davia in action as she plans and executes one of her distinct works, empowering students to be part of the process at every step along the way. Davia will also share her own story and talk about her career as an artist, discussing why she believes in the power of community and the importance of finding and appreciating the connections that exist between all of us.
Davia King is an abstract expressionist and conceptual artist focused on human connection. She was born on the edge of the scenic Wasatch Mountains in Provo, Utah, but the big city energy and culture of Los Angeles beckoned her, and in 2009, she moved to where she currently lives and works.
