Las Manos de Mujer
March is Women's History Month
a time where we honor the successes and sacrifices of women.
Would you like to see more colorful public art in downtown Rincón?
Would you like to see art honoring our passionate and powerful women that fill our community?
As an artist and muralist for over a decade I would like to put my experience and energy into a mural project that will bring these ideas to life. I would like to beautify walls in the downtown Rincón area with murals honoring the inspiring & strong women around me.
If you would like to learn more about the origins of this project you can view the Project Proposal here.
Empowered women, empower women.
Mission
Las Manos de Mujer is a public art initiative led by artist Kelly Meagher with the purpose of creating murals that highlight the strength of the women in the Rincón area. Through eye catching public art we can honor the sisterhood of business owners, mothers, community leaders and protectors of the environment and culture.
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.
