Artist Passion :: Mia Tavonatti

Power of Words Project is a national mural project launching in Laguna Beach, California that honors the power of one-word mantras that can unite communities.This is how excited Mia is about her new project ::

Mia Tavonatti -- Healing the Wall before Commencement of the Power of Words Mural Project

I assisted her last week in filming her project promo and could see she was well on her way to grounding her vision in reality – and her team has already set things in motion. The premise is simple. Words are powerful. And when a community engages to nominate, vote and amplify one word that holds the promise of their collective future – magic happens.

If you had the power to choose one word that defined the vision you hold for the future of your community, what would it be?

In 4 days – from the writing of this post  — count-down here — nomination and voting begins in the City of Laguna Beach, California. Once the word is chosen, a mural will be designed and executed by artists and students – led by Mia, with the purpose of uniting the community around this Word.

While the Power of Words Mural is being executed in Laguna Beach, Mia’s team will be reaching out to other communities across the nation. With Mia’s over-arching message in tact — Art Unites and UpLifts.

The Power of Words Project will be partially funded by Mia Tavonatti’s non-profit, The Svelata Foundation for the Arts, as well as through funds raised by individual participating communities.

This is a collaborative effort depending upon who wants to partner with The Power of Words Project to enliven and unite their community. There will be a lot of this ::

A lot of this ... Synchronicity

Which will generate a lot of this ::
