The JVN Project

For our last artist highlight we wanted to shout out Rodrigo Carapia, our muralist for JVN Day 2023!

Every year for JVN Day, we create a community mural in collaboration with an artist at Elements in The Park. We can’t wait to see what genius Rodrigo puts together this year ✨

Catch the mural in progress on Sunday at Elements in The Park 💥

Rodrigo Carapia is a Madison based artist and muralist originally from México City. His work has been featured in various places in Madison, notably The Red Gym, Dane County Juvenile Detention Center, and The Overture Center. Tone Madison is quoted saying “His experiences as an immigrant, who comes from a vulnerable neighborhood in Mexico City, drove him to help incarcerated youth and others through his art.”

We are thrilled to announce that DJ Ca$h Era will be bringing the sound at Elements in the Park this year 🎉

Come party with us as we dance, chill and listen to a rich tradition of DJing as a tool of community empowerment.

Her set will be from 4-6 pm at Library Mall, you don’t wanna miss it 💥
