Nathan Ross Freeman and
Rev. Lynn Rhoades founded
the Winston-Salem Youth
Arts Institute, later renamed
Authoring Action, in 2002 to
give local young people an
outlet for their creativity.
The organization has been
involved in countless cre
ative endeavors and mem
bers regularly share their tal
ents with audiences in
Winston-Salem and beyond.
Maurice Shivers, 15, an
Authoring Action member
for almost a year, said that
painting the tiles was far
more difficult for him than
writing the poetry that
would adorn them. In
Authoring Action, or A2.
Maurice says he has matured
as a writer and a person.
"I've increased my writ
ing and thinking ability ten
fold for sure. 1 learned to put
myself out there more and
expose more of myself and
take that risk of being
accepted, said Maurice.
Authoring Action is place
for extreme maturation in a
short period of time.'
Maurice and fellow A2
member Cecil Moore, 15,
recorded a conversation
together about their experi
ence helping to create the
wall for Story Line, which
collects stories of all kinds
told by local residents.
StoryLine stories can now
by heard by calling a phone
number. Visitors to the Wall
will be encouraged by a sign
to use their cell phones to
listen to stories recorded by
A2 members.
The Wall was made pos
sible through individual and
corporate donations. The
names of project donors are
also featured on the Wall.
Mayor Allen Joines, who
was among those who spoke
at last week's unveiling,
called the Wall a "gift" to
Winston-Salem.
"We are a city of arts and
innovation, but we have a
lack of public art in our city,
so I'm happy to see we're
adding this latest edition,"
said Joines.
Joines said that signs
will be erected declaring the
section of Trade Street in
front of the restaurant "Word
Wall Way" for the rest of the
month.
The Word Wall wasn't
the only piece of public art
that premiered late Friday
afternoon. The City's
Winston-Salem Youth
Advisory Council (YAC), a
branch of the Human
Relations Department, chris
tened its Youth Expression
.
Wall at Winston Square
Park, where young people
can express themselves in
vibrant color.
The wall is located on
the entrance to the park's
bridge, beside the Milton
Rhodes Center for the Arts
on North Spruce Street. A
steady stream of more than
50 people showed up to
paint on the wall well into

paint on the brightly colored
wall while the park is open.
It will be monitored daily
for inappropriate words or
depictions. YAC is planning
to contact youth oriented
groups to add their expres
sions to the wall.
