Evergreen Presbyterian Ministries Tennessee Program located in Antioch relocated into a new building which houses its day program for individuals with severe disabilities in the Nashville area. Here these individuals attend the program each day to learn new skills and engage in social activities. Until recently, the building had been bland with white walls and sparse decorations. Due to the generosity of a group of students from Nossi College of Art called the Creatives Group, there is now color and life on the walls, brightening the days of all those who attend the program.
The Creatives Group is a group of proactive students at Nossi College who believe in taking their artistic education to a higher level by reaching out to the local community and applying their artistic skills. The director of the group, Collen Curtis, explains that the students were excited to adopt two rooms at Evergreen’s day program. She further explained that the students enjoyed the experience so much that they offered to do a second mural project and decorate even more of the facility. The two teams involved with the murals are led by Tabitha Bennett and Troy Jarvis, and group members include Jazmin Alfaro, Kalen Waterman, Dani Maddox, Chanel Casa, Rick Martin and Shelby Nelson. The Creatives Group is fully committed to their mission, sharing their talents with children suffering from cancer to adults struggling everyday with severe disabilities.
