Youth Action Coalition (YAC) and Get Up Get Down (GUGD) invite the community to attend the ribbon cutting of GUGDs newest creation that blends together both paint and metal into a spectacular mural that raises awareness about consumerism and presents youth visions for change. The event will be held at ARHS in the hallway leading to the cafeteria on Wed, May 20 at 5 pm.

Get Up Get Down (GUGD) is a project that supports youth engagement and activism through public art and has been working with high school-aged youth from Amherst and the surrounding towns since 2000.
