‘Madison Rising’ Student Mural Project Exhibition

Introducing “Madison Rising” a collaborative mural project started in Rachael Kerley’s ART course at AB-Tech’s Madison County Campus on the one-year anniversary of Helene. Supported by the Marshall Relief Alliance, this student designed and student made mural celebrates creative collaboration and community resilience after a natural disaster.

“Madison Rising” traveled to participating Madison County schools on a “Making Tour” where students added their unique contributions to the artwork. 

Shout-Out to Rachael for facilitating this amazing project! Another Huge Shout-Out to Sarah Jones Decker for generously giving access to her gorgeous photography for students to create with! And thank you to the wonderful educators that nurtured creative courage in their classrooms and warmly welcomed art, including Erin Long at Madison Early College and Kerstin Davis at Madison County High School. Last but not least thank you to the students of Madison County that participated in this project and engaged with the creative process.
