Final Project Friday - Making Other People Matter in Art with Erin Duffy

We invite CAPPsters to present their projects with the community.

Erin Duffy will be joining us July 23 for Final Project Friday. Erin is passionate about community, individual, and environmental health and well-being. For her project she created an artistic mural inspired by the idea that “other people matter”. Her process and product are absolutely beautiful, and I can’t wait for her to share them with you.

What inspired Erin’s Final Project

I often feel called to paint walls, not just in the home but out in public. For this project created a mural to honor the late father of a good friend. I was inspired by the idea that “other people matter”, and I wanted to do something to make that idea come into tangible form to support someone I care about.
