"Everything that I've been affected by, I adamantly take a 100% role in changing it and making it better."
Impact-based artist Myron Curry is many things, but above all he's a community activist. His murals decorate walls and spaces across Seattle and beyond, and his work in curation, art management and installations comes to life through the gallery he owns in downtown Seattle. As a community counselor, Myron's actively engaged in a range of organizations working with at-risk youth, guiding re-entry for those previously incarcerated, assisting veterans or seniors, addressing housing... and the list goes on. High School senior Luz, a talented artist in her own right, hosts this episode where we explore Myron's inspiring story, covering the process of becoming an artist and entrepreneur, the impact of his prison experience, and how his family and elders have empowered him in his journey of rebuilding self and community all at once.
Co-presented by 4Culture, Coping 101's Artist Mental Health Stories amplify voices from King County's cultural sector to empower individual artists, uplift the creative community and destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective.
