Overdose Awareness Murals
Street Wise has partnered with Boulder County Community Services with two local artists- Kaila Spencer and Jason Graves to paint a mural dedicated to the vision of the County’s Substance Use Advisory Group: a community wide shared leadership group with the overarching goals toreduce stigma around Substance Use Disorders, reduce overdoses and fatalities and support resiliency in recovery.
Mural Statement
"Art Heals" was painted with the intention to help reduce stigma around Substance Use Disorders, reduce overdoses and fatalities and support resiliency in recovery. For the Boulder County Community Services and Boulder County Substance Use Advisory Group. I want to dedicate this one to my old friend Brad, who lost his battle with addiction in the last year. Although it had been a few years since I last saw you, I’ve been telling wild tales of my adolescence and early College years that revolved around your quick wit and brutally honest, humbling humor for as long as I can remember. Rest In Peace.
Thank you to our partners and sponsors on these murals, Boulder County Community Services.
