Faces of Diversity Greensboro: Artist Talk with Edwin Gil

Artist Edwin Gil will lead a community conversation in the Greensboro History Museum to help us see how despite our differences and diversity we are all connected and are special in our own way.

Faces of Diversity: Greensboro Project is a community building and character development public art project – with hopes to open up the hearts and minds of participants. Through experiential activities, project participants are guided by Gil as pieces of their personal stories and color psychology will be joined together to form a large-format piece of artwork using upcycled glass containing the fingerprints of community members.
