PALMDALE \u2013 Antelope Valley YouthBuild, in partnership with the city of Palmdale, will be leading an \u201cArt Walk\u201d this Thursday to raise awareness about issues that affect residents of the Antelope Valley.<\/p>\n

Themed \u201cSocial Investigation,\u201d<\/em> the Art Walk begins at 4 p.m. at Gabriel\u2019s House (38553 4th Street East) and wraps at 7 p.m. at the AV YouthBuild Student Housing Project (38522 5th Street East).<\/p>\n

The event is free and open to the community, and it will feature original works from local YouthBuild students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have some paintings, posters, fliers, and we\u2019re also going to have a \u2018Slam Poetry\u2019 competition at one of the stops during our Art Walk,\u201d said organizer and AV YouthBuild English teacher Eric Mariscal.<\/p>\n

The YouthBuild students\/artists will be on hand to explain the concepts behind their art pieces, which are based on the following themes: homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, literacy, financial literacy and teen pregnancy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to raise awareness on several issues that impact our community through artistic projects that reflect our experiences and our opinions,\u201d Mariscal said.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re hoping to inspire community members to be a part of the solution and not the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we want our community to become better, we need to focus on being a more culture-centered community. We need to recognize that the largest population is the youth, and we need to establish more arts and culture activities and events centered around them,\u201d stated AV YouthBuild History Tiffany Estrada.<\/p>\n
