A Place To Grow

In the summer of 2019, innovation artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya collaborated with youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Central Iowa to create an vibrant community mural. Drawing on creative exercises with the students, Amanda designed a mural that conveys the students' desire to grow and thrive. The students took part in painting the mural that overlooks a basketball court and playground at a new Boys & Girls Club in Des Moines, Iowa.
