The mural was the first project our collaborative successfully supported and fully funded.

A Sneak Peek at the Faces of Eve Art Book
Our long awaited Faces of Eve Art Book is finally here!
The striking images and stories in this 154 page, 11 x 13 hardcover art book have timely social messages for every woman and for every person who values the women in their lives. It begins with the conception of the mural and continues with the formation of the Faces of Eve Collaborative. Barroso’s mural galvanized a group of dynamic women to form an eponymous grassroots organization with the mission to support and celebrate the brilliant ideas of local women in their community. The book culminates with our work during the COVID pandemic of 2020-21, as we rallied around the brilliant idea of Jonnie Mae Perry: to build a new cultural center that honors African American heritage and provides much needed resources for the underserved community of Gifford, Florida.
