Artist Eliseo Silva (see post on mural at the Spruance School) is one of three artists who will be teaching mural arts as part of the youth art program at the Asian Arts Initiative, and I hear he’s a gifted teacher. The program is for youths 14 to 21 years of age and also has a poetry component, photography and comics. Others running the workshop from July 5th to Aug. 12 are muralist and poet Rodney Camarce, photographer Rana Sindhikara and performance artist Marian Thambynayagam.
