Reviving My Friend’s Place Through Art
Evan Mendleson, along with a team of talented mural artists including Aly Kourouma, Christina Angelina, John Park, and Bumblebee, participated in a transformative artistic endeavor initiated by the Do Art Foundation. The project aimed to revamp the exterior of the Hollywood youth homeless drop-in center, My Friend’s Place, situated at 5850 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA.
My Friend’s Place: A Shelter with a Vision
My Friend’s Place is a refuge for homeless youth located in Hollywood, striving to make a positive impact in the lives of the community’s young homeless population. The Do ArT Foundation collaborated with artists, including Evan Mendleson, to rejuvenate and beautify the shelter’s exterior, turning its walls into a canvas of hope and inspiration.
Collective Efforts in Artistic Revitalization
The collaboration of Evan Mendleson, Aly Kourouma, Christina Angelina, John Park, and Bumblebee resulted in an artistic transformation of My Friend’s Place. Through their creativity and dedication, they brought life to the shelter’s walls, using vibrant colors, imaginative designs, and artistry to convey messages of positivity and empowerment to the community.
Impact and Purpose
The murals created by Evan Mendleson and fellow artists serve not only as visually appealing street art but also as symbols of hope, compassion, and support for the vulnerable youth seeking refuge and assistance at My Friend’s Place. This endeavor was not just about painting walls; it was a collaborative effort to create a welcoming and inspiring space for those in need.
I am a mural enthusiast and a fervent admirer of street art. Rather than creating murals myself, I am passionate about collecting them. My love for street art knows no bounds. I am dedicated to curating and cherishing these artworks that grace the streets. My collection stands as a testament to my profound appreciation for this form of artistic expression.
