The community is invited to join Culture of Health Advancing Together (CHAT) and Braeburn Elementary School in a special celebration and ribbon cutting event to unveil the new Gulfton-area murals titled “Beyond – Through Their Eyes” and “We Rise Together.” All community members are invited to join this event, held on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., at Braeburn Elementary School (5550 Pine St., Houston, TX 77081.)
“Beyond – Through Their Eyes” was created by Alex Arzú. “We Rise Together” was created by Jesse de Leon. Both murals were created to bring awareness to mental health resources and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, including visuals to symbolize hope and happiness. The murals include a QR code leading to Health Resources curated by CHAT, located at https://linktr.ee/chat_tx.
The murals were made possible by a partnership between CHAT and HISD Wraparound Services. This project is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. Funding for this project was also provided by BIPOC Arts Network and Fund, Houston In Action, and Hogg Foundation.
