Combining ideas of art therapy and community art, Tova has facilitated many community murals around the greater Boston area and beyond. The intention is to empower communities in the creation of art that is meaningful to them by working with the community members throughout the entire mural process, from design to completed painting. Most participants have been people who have never painted a mural before and who don't consider themselves artists. But when given the opportunity, all have surpassed what they thought they could do and have worked together to create lasting murals to enjoy while building self esteem, learning about teamwork, and uncovering hidden talents. The inner beauty of each community mural lay in the power of the process.
