DESCRIPTION:Jan 12, 6:30-9pm in Piedmont venue and Jan 14, 3pm in Oakland 
 venue\n\nEdythe Boone was a young mother living in low-income housing in 
 Harlem when she organized her first mural project -- her goal: to build a 
 sense of community among her neighbors. The now seventy-something artist 
 moved to the East Bay a short time later, and has been creating 
 community-building murals here ever since.  \n\nIn the Appreciating 
 Diversity Film Series' next film, A New Color: The Art of Being Edythe 
 Boone, filmmaker Mo Morris follows the tireless Boone as she guides current 
 East Bay students and seniors through the mural-making process.  The film 
 not only demystifies how the huge, complex art works are made; it also 
 demonstrates how the process of working together to produce a piece of 
 public art reinforces important community values like long-term thinking, 
 self-esteem, and teamwork. The Bay Area is alight with literally thousands 
 of murals. They dot, and in some cases define our neighborhoods. They are 
 as rich and diverse as our population. \n\nAt a time when the Ghost Ship 
 fire makes the challenges artists face to stay and work in the Bay Area 
 heartbreakingly clear, Boone's work, and that of all Bay Area muralists, 
 are a tangible testament to the critical importance of art here.  Join us 
 in learning more.\n\n2015 Audience Favorite at the Mill Valley Film
