About the event
Come to help us paint murals and make fresh food accessible to all!
Bring your apron or old clothes to wear while you contribute to Lancaster History. With the help of lead arist, Shauna Yorty, a fresh team of art interns and supporting artists, you can learn about the natural world, contribute your ideas to the content of the mural, and help us to create digital conent in order to build this wildly innovative approach to food access. FRTL and our comunoty partners will build upon new and existing public art to create easily identifiable locations for fresh food pick-ups made possible by DECA's mobile, pay-what-you-can mobile farmers market.
Help us live the dream of Food Justice for all!...and make it creative!
From Roots to Leaves will allow DECA to develop a mobile farmers market to meet the ever shifting demographics of Food Insecurity in Lancaster and reach as wide of a swath of our city residents as possible. These mobile markets will be anchored in neighborhoods we serve with community engagements and educational opportunities. Featuring lead artist, Shauna Yorty, we will lead a mural project in underserved neighborhoods. The intergeneraltional project aims to educate our community on Urban Agriculture, nature and our connection to the natural world.
Made possible by our Community partners, Lancaster County Community Foundation, Millersville University, Lancaster Equity Council, Joel's Painting, Rosa Rosa Pizzaria and more!
