Street Artist Norm Maxwell to Paint a Mural for The Teen Project

WHAT: A vibrant mural will come to life in one day as street artist Norm "Nomzee" Maxwell creates a 12 x 8-foot urban-inspired artwork at the Dwell on Design show in Los Angeles. He will use bright colors selected from the new Then, Now & Forever color palette by Dunn- Edwards Paint. The finished piece will be donated to Freehab for its Life Transformation Center in Sun Valley. Both are part of The Teen Project's efforts to serve vulnerable homeless and addicted youth.

WHEN: Saturday, May 30, 2015. 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. – during the show so attendees can watch the artist make his magic. There will be a brief on-site ceremony at 2 p.m. to highlight the mural and make the donation to The Teen Project/Freehab.

WHERE: Los Angeles Convention Center, South Hall
1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015

WHY: Maxwell's mural will help decorate Freehab's new trade school in Sun Valley, a place where teen residents can learn basic technical skills. His creation will convey a message of harmony and nurturing strength.
