GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program: Join artist Amanda Koss as we
become muralists and extend our community mural in Brewery Park!
The GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program, under the creation
and expertise of local artist Amanda Koss, is designed to be a
transformative program to inspire Girl Scouts to reach their highest
potential by recognizing and unlocking their inherent creative
abilities! By connecting Girl Scouts with working artists, artisans,
and innovative opportunities - the program fosters curiosity,
self-expression, and personal growth. In a supportive and empowering
environment, Girl Scouts will explore unconventional ways to impact
their communities while discovering their own unique creative
paths.
Created by artist and curator Amanda Koss, this
program reflects her commitment to empowering youth, nurturing
creativity, and providing access to the tools and opportunities needed
to achieve their dreams.
During this event, Girl Scouts
will learn the 'behind-the-scenes' secrets of professional muralists,
from wall prep to final strokes. Start by creating a personal concept
on canvas that complements our current exhibit, then share your
inspiration with your fellow Girl Scouts. Once the brainstorming is
done, it's time to paint! Each Girl Scout will be assigned a prepped
section of the wall to bring to life. By the end of the day, you'll
have helped create a permanent masterpiece within the iconic Eastern
Market that is known for its murals and have a custom canvas of your
own to take home.
