As a kick off to the new John Coltrane mural to be installed starting the end of the month, Mural Arts has partnered with Strawberry Mansion Civic Association to present a series of workshops for residents to come together to celebrate the rich history and accomplishments of people from Strawberry Mansion such as John Coltrane, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Dox Thrash, and others. The workshops are designed crafted to not only preserve the legacies of these icons but to also and share practical skills that can lead to entrepreneurial opportunities such as sewing, learning about jazz and how Coltrane created his music merging jazz and African rhythms, printmaking and the life of Dox Thrash, and how he became a pioneer of printmaking.
