CAC@SJB's Glenn Angel Creates a Special Mural for United Cerebral Palsy

This summer, our very own Director of CAC@SJB, and visual artist, Glenn Angel Echevarria, took on a special mural project for the United Cerebral Palsy foundation. In collaboration with the Center for the Arts & Culture @ SJB, Glenn painted a 4ft. by 8ft. mural titled, "Dove of Hope" at the Center to be permanently displayed at the United Cerebral Palsy residents facilities located on the East Side of Lower Manhattan.

On selected dates throughout the summer, Glenn took time out from his busy schedule to work on this special mural. With the Center being a perfect place for inspiration, the mural was completed with much devotion and care over the summer. It is the first of what may be a series of murals that Glenn Angel may be painting for UCP's facilities in the very near future.

Until then, we congratulate Glenn on yet another fine accomplishment, and for his dedication to continue utilizing his God-given talents to serve his community, and especially those in need.
