Community Trauma Response Program
825 Arts will provide for the acute need for community access to safe, healing, creative spaces through their new Community Trauma Response Program. The goal is for this to be a responsive program available to the public any time there are events that provoke collective grief or trauma. In addition to offering creative resources, 825 will provide the community with information that directs them to low-cost/affordable mental health services, access to emotional and spiritual healers and bodyworkers, and places to find free food for people in need.
Meet Kira Bass, a passionate visual artist whose work centers around the beauty of shared human experiences. With a deep love for portraiture and public, community-based art, Kira creates pieces that reflect connection, emotion, and identity.
Originally from the suburbs of Georgia, Kira moved to Minnesota in 2024 and quickly fell in love with the vibrant and welcoming arts community.
Art has been a part of Kira’s life for as long as she can remember—creating since childhood, she continues to use her talents to inspire and uplift. Among her artistic influences, Kira cites Kayla Mahaffey as her favorite artist, drawn to her powerful storytelling and vibrant style.
Join Kira on May 20th at the Art-BQ, where she will be creating a live community mural inspired by feedback from attendees on what community beauty means to them. Don’t miss the chance to witness her process and be a part of the creative experience!
