The CYE Center is partnering with the Society for Creative Aging, Horizons K-8 Alternative School and Columbine Elementary School in the creation of a mural for the entrance of the CYE Center. Elder artists are working with students to create a multi-dimensional representation of a child-friendly community. University of Colorado students are also participating. Concept mapping took place during the spring of 2007, followed by the creation of leaves for the Tree of Life, paintings and sneaker art.  Work on additional mural components is continuing through the fall of 2007 and spring of 2008.

The project will be installed in stages and is projected  for completion in June, 2008. Funding is provided by the CU Outreach Committee, the CU Service-Learning program, and Lynda Simmons.
