Inspired by their conversations and experiences with the young people at RISE for Youth and their own backgrounds, artists Courtney Lebow and Hamilton Glass talk about how their mural in the Fan neighborhood of Richmond was shaped by their experiences with the young leaders and how they see themselves and want to be seen in the community.
