Donated items will go toward a series of healing-centered artmaking workshops with incarcerated youth at the Cuyahoga County Detention Center. The workshops will be facilitated by SPACES Satellite Fund Recipient, Lexy Lattimore and The Cuyahoga County Jail Coalition Arts and Culture Team.

The mission of these workshops and this partnership is to empower justice-impacted youth with the creative skills to express their feelings and tell their stories while building healing relationships with peers and community members. The teaching artists involved have survived over-policing and incarceration and seek to envision and establish alternatives to these systems in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County.

Four collection bins, repurposed from A Color Removed, have been stripped and re-painted by Cleveland-based artists Antwoine Washington, James Quarles, and Davon Brantley with designs that celebrate Tamir’s life.

Starting May 19, you can drop off art supplies in collection bins at following locations:

SPACES – 2900 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH 44113

Robinson G. Jones Elementary School (attended by Tamir Rice) – 4550 W 150th St, Cleveland, OH 44135

Toby’s Plaza – 11440 Uptown Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106

Roxboro Elementary / Middle School (attended by Tamir Rice) – 2400 Roxboro Rd #3624, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118

The contributed items will be collected on a regular basis by staff and volunteers and distributed through the Cuyahoga County Jail Arts and Culture Team as well as the Tamir Rice Afrocentric Cultural Center.
