Make Together

Patricia Cazorla & Nancy Saleme are an aunt and niece artist team passionate about public art. They hope their work can
educate communities around social justice issues.

Watch Patricia and Nancy work in their studio to complete their project, Lighting the Road. Together they create a mural installed in New York City’s Port Authority Bus Terminal.

Let’s make window art inspired by Patricia and Nancy with your own window paint.

Gathering a few small bowls.
Squirt a small amount of dish soap in each bowl.
Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl so you have a variety of colors to work with.
Stir the mixtures in each bowl.
Use a paint brush or sponge to create a painting directly on your window! This paint is easy to clean and washes right off.
Write a message to a friend or neighbor, thank your community helpers, or get creative in your own way!
