ALL CITY ALL CITY represents personal excellence — how students show up, stand out, and represent who they are and where they’re from. You can see it in how they carry themselves. How they stand on the work. How they represent what they made. That’s where ALL CITY lives. Lowell built that mindset. 978 — pride, resilience, showing up & showing out. That energy runs through this collection. — This shoot means a lot to me. Creating space for young people in my city to explore their ideas, take risks, and bring something to life — that’s the work. Watching them step into it, own it, and stand on what they created is one of the most meaningful parts of what I do. Grateful to build this with them. — MBM x LHS Designed in Lowell. — Creative Direction & Photography: @bymattheww Produced by: @mbm_org Student Talent: FashionLAB 002 Cohort Location: My Beautiful Mind Art Studio #art #design #lowell #lhs #mybeautifulmind

Peace world! Coming to y’all live from the process! BIG NEWS: I got selected as a NAS Creative Community Fellow: New England | @artstrategies Grateful is an understatement. This one feels different… because it’s really a reflection of the last 10+ years of showing up. Showing up for my community. Showing up for young people. Showing up for myself… even when I didn’t fully know where it was all going. Everything I’ve been building through My Beautiful Mind — the spaces, the workshops, the conversations — has always brought me back to one thing: THE POWER OF CREATIVITY. That’s why I love art the way I do. When I’m really in it, I'm lost in it, just expressing the what's inside. I’m excited to be in a room with others doing this kind of work — people who care about creativity, community, and real impact. Huge THANK YOU to @artstrategies | @nefa_1976 | @barrfdn for their continued support & elevation of the Arts + Culture Sector. Deeply grateful. @sui__soma on the beat — If you’ve ever been part of something I’ve created, supported, or even just tapped in from a distance — this win is yours too. To God be ALL the Glory! PLAYLAB by My Beautiful Mind coming to a city near you! #art #community Connect | Support: [email protected]

Your City. Your Story. Your Canvas. WAVEMAKERS is more than a public art project — it’s a creative movement designed to transform everyday streets into meaningful pathways that connect people, neighborhoods, and stories across Lowell. Funded through the MassDevelopment TDI Creative Catalyst Grant, this initiative turns crosswalks into cultural landmarks — supporting walkability, community pride, and economic vitality in our city’s most active corridors. Led by @bymattheww Founder of @mbm_org and made possible through a powerful collaboration between @aaronspresents + @rawartworkslynn — this project placed creative leadership directly in the hands of young people. Together, they imagined, designed, and painted murals that reflect the culture, vibrancy, and spirit of our city. 🎬 Director & Film: Jonathan Andreazza | @itsvrtu 
🎨 Lead Artist: Matthew Wolterding | @bymattheww 
🌟 WAVEMAKERS: Yazmin De Los Santos, Serena May Nam, Laylah Woodson, Kayla Pinales, Gabriel Pereira, Mariana Zuluaga A massive thank you to @aaronspresents which is built on the idea that when young people are given the opportunity to lead, create, and give back, the entire community is better for it — and WAVEMAKERS is a bold, beautiful example of that mission in action. @vrtupresents forever grateful for your creative vision and diligence in bringing this to life! #art #aaronspresents #mybeautifulmind #rawartwokrs #lowell #wavemakers #publicart #community #boston

MURAL – 005 ✨ MAGIC ✨ WAVEMAKER Yazmin De Los Santos brings her lifelong love of art — and imagination — to life in "MAGIC", 9ur final mural of the series. Location: Lincoln Elementary “My goal was to show the beauty that lives inside books,” Yazmin shared. “One side is full of knowledge — math, science, history. The other is pure imagination — dragons, sparkles, and all things magical.” With MAGIC, she invites students (and the kid in all of us) to walk through a world where learning and dreaming go hand in hand. 📚🪄 Your city.

MURAL – 001 ☁️ WALKING ON CLOUDS ☁️ Location: Robinson Middle School Designed by Mariana Zuluaga, "Walking on Clouds" brings color, pride, and imagination to the streets near the Robinson School. Inspired by their eagle mascot and the dreams of every student who walks that block, Mariana’s vision was to create a moment of lightness — as if you’re floating through your own story. “I wanted to invoke a sense of walking on clouds,” she shared in her artist interview. “Something that makes people feel inspired, uplifted, and proud of where they’re from.” Your city.

THE DESIGN SUMMIT 🌆 Before paint hit the pavement, we brought the team together to dream, design, and dive deep into the stories they wanted to tell. The Wave Makers Design Summit was our creative kickoff — a two-day experience & space for young artists to connect, build trust, and begin imagining murals that reflect the heart of their neighborhoods. From hands-on workshops to team-building to vision boards, this is where the magic started. 🎤 Plus, each artist was interviewed by fellow artist Mariana Zuluaga to share their story and the vision behind their crosswalk — giving voice to the movement from the inside out. 💡 Good vibes. Big ideas. Real stories. 📍 Your city. Your story. Your canvas. #WaveMakers #DesignSummit #YouthArtMovement #LowellArt #PublicArt #MyBeautifulMind #AaronsPresents #CreativeLowell #StreetArt #CrosswalkMurals #CommunityDesign #MassDevelopment #RawArtWorks
