Students Brighten The ARK with Mural Project
The walls of The ARK outside the Anna & Jacob Fine Social Services Center are now filled with color and light, thanks to students from the Hillel Arts in the Loop program. This unique group volunteered at The ARK last fall, working in the Food Pantry and delivering presents during a Chanukah celebration. With the help of Program Director Erin Jones, they translated those experiences into a mural design, and recently finished transferring the design to the walls.
The mural depicts a scene in which a variety of human figures work alongside one another underneath a vast Tree of Life. The tree, like The ARK, provides them with sustenance, but also the means to become self-sufficient.
