Bringing Art to Boley

I created artwork for the Project 2020 Foundation’s initiative: Trash to Treasures ★ Rodeo Edition, located in @boleyoklahoma.

Project facilitator Wes Luster got local Black artists to come together to transform trash cans into works of art for the 2025 Boley Rodeo to celebrate this Black town, its heritage, and rodeo culture 🐎

The custom-painted bins will be on display around the rodeo grounds on 5/24, which will feature artworks from the participating artists:

Wes Luster, Joshua Farrell, Thrumyeyez, Denae Smith, Tiffany McKnight, Debra Martin-Barber, Feahther, Raasheda B, Suzanne Justice, Rico Young, Sydni Rain, Zreknuks Andersen, Leondre Lattimore, Aditi Heins, Ebony Dallas, and Dane Heins.
