Sending Love To Sendai: Tsunami and Earthquake Survivors in Japan

By Fouad and Joanne Tawfilis

The Art Miles Mural Project (www.artmiles.org) has always supported "healing" efforts following natural and human disasters by bringing people together through the arts by creating five by twelve foot murals on canvas.

Since the week following the Tsunami and Earthquake in Japan students from several Southern California and Colorado schools gathered together to create murals that will be sent to the coordinators of the Japan Art Mile (Mr. and Mrs. Shiwaku) as part of a collection of twenty murals that will hopefully send cheer and goodwill by sharing warm and happy visual images to Japan. The collection will be exhibited with the Art Miles Japan Art Mile (JAM) team in Japan.
