A paintbrush may be the answer. "The purpose of art:' said Pablo Picasso, "is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." The Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit is offering the community the opportunity to wash "the dust of daily life" off their souls by working together to create a beautiful mural from noon-3 p.m. Thursday, April 11, at the JCC in Oak Park. "The Colors of Kindness:' presented by the JCC's The Active Life (TAL) department, gives everyone a chance to help complete a mural to be kept on permanent exhibit at the Oak Park JCC. Artist Daniel Cascardo, whose works have appeared on everything from pizza boxes to sculptures, will create the outlines of a painting to be completed by those in attendance. The idea for the program was inspired by the Kindness Project, an initiative of the JCC and Partners in Honigman Miller Schwartz & Cohn LLP, Carolyn and Larry Tisdale, Randie Levin, Sharona Shapiro All Sponsors will be listed on the Program Ranictar nniina kv, Anrii 77 9n1 2 rit www.jewishdetroitorg/Iwf For women and men age 21+ (wine and laughter for sure — colorful language possible) Want more information?

"Also, I was thinking of a proj- ect where people would be actively involved, and that they would be proud of, especially if they had never done anything artistic before:' Herzig remembered meeting an art- ist named Daniel Cascardo. She gave him a call. Cascardo's art is bright and bold and elegant and fun, and he had created exactly the kind of program Herzig wanted. "The program that I call Cascardo's Art Action Experience is a new art form where I combine the contribu- tions of many people in creating a unique work of art:' Cascardo explains.
