LIFEWTR® BRINGS TOGETHER LOCAL ARTIST & STUDENTS TO CONSTRUCT LATEST BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT AT PERCY L. JULIAN HIGH SCHOOL
In December 2019, PepsiCo’s LIFEWTR unveiled its third beautification project in Chicago at Percy L. Julian High School alongside Principal Myron L. Hester, students and local artist, Miss Merlot. Students helped create their gymnasium’s vibrant new mural, as a part of PepsiCo’s 2019 #CanvasForChange initiative to impact 10 million students nationwide.
Earlier this month, Miss Merlot spent time with Percy L. Julian High School art students to discuss the importance of finding their own creative outlets, while leading class workshops with the support of LIFEWTR. To date, the brand has donated over 300 Scholastic art kits to Chicago Public Schools, provided resources for local students, and commissioned additional beautifications projects at Roosevelt High School and Albany Park Community Center.
LIFEWTR’s community beautification program will bring art education to 10 million students by helping to beautify schools and community centers in underprivileged areas and showcasing local artists’ work while raising awareness for the decline in art education programs for students.
