The main message of the Not Even Once Mural Project is to prevent Hawaii youth from trying methamphetamines. The way our team at Keep It Flowing communicates this sensitive message is visually. We paint a mural, centrally located on a school, or youth center, (exterior or interior) wall with the message: Not Even Once. This is the meth prevention message of the Hawaii Meth Project, the local chapter of a national non-profit. These three words – Not Even Once – stand in the center of the mural. We surround these words with backgrounds chosen by school principals and vice-principals after several discussions with the artists and organizers. Since the project began one year ago, most schools have chosen an underwater theme. Another popular theme is school spirit. So far, we have painted eight Not Even Once murals on four Hawaiian Islands. This Spring 2015 season, our third tour, we will paint four more anti-meth murals statewide. We unveiled the first mural of this season at James Campbell High School in Ewa Beach on Oahu this past Wednesday. Please read my next post about the creating and unveiling of Campbell High School’s Not Even Once mural. Atres
