Our New Project
"Gentrified Wood"

About Gentrified Wood

Through our new project "Gentrified Wood," we are taking discarded wood from gentrifiers' home improvement projects and turning them into works of art that beautify the community. Along with backstories of where this wood comes from the woodwork tells a deeper story of history, relationship building and community. What's more, we are teaching inner-city youth the healing power of woodwork and incorporating breath work as a technique for wood sanding that promotes mindfulness.

Our mission.

It's more than just art

It's a movement that empowers the youth and beautifies the community with otherwise discarded trash. Article 730 wants to be a shining example of how art and youth employment can be used to combat gentrification and promote social justice. Our work has a positive impact on the community, and the negative images associated with inner city youth.

Our Approach

Our approach is based around our local community. We work with houses set to be generified in our community, train children from our community, and ultimately teach the history of our community.
