Eatonville, Florida (Feb. 12, 2025) – Conflict Resolution, Auto Maintenance, Lawn Care and Interaction with Law Enforcement are several topics recently presented by leaders of the Got Skills Mentoring program. This month, they will focus on Black History Month and how, over the years, Art captured the experiences of Black Americans, among other things. Tonight, at 7 p.m., participants, teenage males, will also paint – create their own artwork.

The event, themed “When Art Speaks,” will be held at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, 412 E. Kennedy Blvd. in Eatonville. The goal is for participants to learn how Art has been a powerful tool in Black History and how Art can be a positive outlet for emotional and mental wellness. Facilitator and Artist: Verlese Pender. There will be a similar session on Wednesday, Feb. 26. Same time.
