DESCRIPTION:GLIDE and Veterans Alley are joining forces to bring community expressive 
 art to the Tenderloin. For five weeks beginning in late April, esteemed 
 neighborhood muralist and Veterans Alley founder Amos Gregory will be 
 hosting a weekly workshop at GLIDE to teach the art of muralism to the 
 local community. All are welcome and Amos will personally mentor anyone 
 interested in making the commitment to take on apprenticeship during the 
 project.\n \nThis project is part of the GLIDE Center for Social 
 Justice’s empowerment work, which brings community-focused art and 
 organizing to the Tenderloin through partnerships and innovative 
 initiatives. It is also simultaneously an expansion of the work that has 
 been done by Veterans Alley since 2011, bringing emotional and civic 
 empowerment to disenfranchised communities through expressive art and 
 community building. Working at GLIDE, Veterans Alley will be able to reach 
 a large cross section of the Tenderloin community, both non-veterans and 
 veterans, including those struggling to bring their voices to many issues 
 from displacement, to homelessness, to the everyday beauty and vibrant 
 humanity of an often-misunderstood neighborhood.\n \nThe project will 
 focus on the theme of Tenderloin Solidarity and will produce a wall-sized 
 mural that will be showcased at GLIDE, through the brushes of GLIDE’s 
 program participants and neighborhood residents.\n\nWHEN:\n4:00 pm, each 
 Wednesday, from April 19 through May 17 (5 weeks total) (workshop continues 
 through the 5:00 pm Speakout session) \n\nWHERE:\nGLIDE, Freedom Hall, 330 
 Ellis Street \n\nAbout GLIDE:\n\nFor more than fifty years, GLIDE has 
 worked to create a radically inclusive, just and loving community mobilized 
 to alleviate suffering and break the cycles of poverty and marginalization. 
 Located in the culturally rich Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco, 
 GLIDE serves a diverse cross-section of homeless, low-income and 
 disenfranchised program participants, providing a comprehensive set of 
 programs including:  free meals; HIV/Hep C testing and counseling; housing 
 assistance; domestic violence counseling and abatement; substance abuse 
 recovery; licensed childcare; afterschool and summer programs for youth; a 
 resource center for families; free legal services; and access to free 
 primary and behavioral health care. GLIDE has founded and sustained 
 visionary programming, and achieved tangible results for tens of thousands 
 of individuals and families on the margins, all once thought to be beyond 
 the possible. For additional information, visit glide.org.\n\nAbout 
 Veterans Alley:\n\nVeterans Alley is a community based mural project 
 located in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District. Our project was created 
 and is operated by Veteran Artists. The project consists of murals, 
 covering over an entire block of public facing walls where veterans paint 
 their own stories about the true reality of WAR and the military 
 experience. We supply all sketchbooks, drawing utensils, paints, and wall 
 space.\n\n \nFind us on Twitter: @GLIDEsf \nFind us on Facebook:
