This two-day event was a celebration of our Membership and community-at-large. As we remember those women who have been marginalized, silenced, or who have not had a forum to express their voice, we are celebrating the strong bonds that we have created through the power of connection with our Members. Without our Members, MUSEA's Intentional Creativity Foundation would not be able to host events like this Paint Her Name Street Art Party - an event designed to celebrate the experience of Membership at MUSEA.

Arts Activism to
Give Voice to the Voiceless
We Gathered in Community to Raise Our Collective Voices... The Paint Her Name Street Art Party allowed us to give voice to women who are (or have been) unable to speak freely or not had a platform where they could express their experiences. We gathered in community to paint, dance, and celebrate the connection we have here at MUSEA - all while giving voice to the voiceless. This is one of the key activities that the MUSEA Intentional Creativity Foundation (a 501(c)3 non-profit organization) hosts through its Arts Activism programming.
What is Street Art? Defined as “public-space artwork that's created for consumption outside of the typical art gallery setting,” street art is essentially synonymous with “public art” as it encompasses a variety of mediums like painting, sculpture, or stained glass. (Source: dictionary.com)
The Festivities Started With A #POP!
DAY ONE OVERVIEW
Held on September 29
On Friday, September 29th, Guild Members Milagros Suriano-Rivera - VP of Programming, and Sumaiyah Wysdom Yates - Executive Director (aka DJ Wizdom!) held a 3-hour paint party where we danced and sang and painted our Paint Her Name Arts Activism posters.
Our #POP Open Studio is, well, an open studio... As a Member, we create a place for you to come and let your hair down while you work on whatever creative project of your choice. For this special edition of #POP, we focused our attention on making our Paint Her Name Street Art Poster as we stood (and still stand) in solidarity and sisterhood.
#POP Open Studio Parties are a Member benefit, held on the last Friday of every month.
Overview of Day Two
Held on September 30
Join us for Circle, a Museum Show, Bingo and MORE!

We viewed both Into the Future - Sue's exhibit - and a video of Caron McCloud - Curate Shiloh Sophia's Birth Mom and Intentional Creativity® Art Matriarch - as she shared about the importance of poetry in conjunction with Intentional Creativity and read a poem she wrote and dedicated to Sue.
In addition, exclusive prints from both Sue and Caron will be available for a limited time beginning October 1st. - And the winners are...
