The Paintbrush Wall Client: Marwen

Providing free, arts-based youth development programs for under-served Chicago students, Marwen hosts the Paintbrush Ball each spring to raise funds and showcase student works. In 2011, Cushing transformed an artwork created by Marwen students into a large, 8' x 24' mural that served as the centerpiece of the fundraising event. The mural was covered with hundreds of Post-It tabs that were removed by guests throughout the evening as part of a raffle to reveal the full artwork.
[Cushing] not only helped us envision how the piece would come together — a creative feat alone — but came up with a plan for installing it, too. They even delivered it and helped our team set it up! ...Cushing has always been a wonderful friend to Marwen, but this went above and beyond.
