The Butterfly Project
We Rise Together
|
This community project, sponsored by Downtown Inc., reflects the ideas of Transformative Actions, created by local artist Elena Lourenco, and invites community involvement
Covid Quilts is an art project from the imagination of Steven Homestead, where community-decorated face masks come together to create quilts that serve as visual memorials to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and as symbols of collective hope.
This summer, Covid Quilts is connecting in with the launch of the Transformative Actions project by artist Elena Lourenco, who along with assistant artists Isabel Gonzalez and Natalia Mendoza, is leading one of the 14 projects of California’s “Your Actions Save Lives” campaign. Her work with the Transformative Actions project was the inspiration and launching point for community involvement of We Rise Together, where over 150 Santa Ana residents and Orange County community members came together in creative expression as they drew, wrote, dreamed, honored, and imaged on sky blue face masks. Three Covid Quilts have been created from the We Rise Together facemasks and will be on display in storefronts of Downtown Santa Ana so all can share in the inspiring messages. With the metamorphosis of the butterfly as a theme, each project speaks its own message, but unites us together in hope and community.
You can view them on display in the following DTSA storefronts.
Alta Baja Market, 201 E 4th St, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Mi Moda, 108 E 4th St, Santa Ana, CA 92701
Peer Mental Wellness , 305 W. 4th Street, Santa Ana, CA 92701
