LOS ANGELES, May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Introducing “POSCA uni-versity”, the ultimate back-to-school partnership between Secret Walls and uni. As the new school year approaches, Secret Walls and uni are teaming up to help students unleash their creativity and express themselves like never before. With uni’s vibrant and versatile line of POSCA paint markers and Secret Walls’ unparalleled live paint battles, the partnership aims to educate, inspire, and support students to express themselves in bold new ways.

 

Introducing “POSCA uni-versity”, the ultimate back-to-school partnership between Secret Walls and uni.

In this curriculum, students will learn from special guest speakers, Serena Au (Occupational Art Therapist and Arts Justice Educator), Terry Guy (SW Founder), and all-star artists like Dreyfus, AngelOnce + GoopMassta, Upendo, and Wotto, leading each class, with more special guests to be announced. The program will provide crash courses in free-style drawing, DIY design, and character building, all while instilling artistic confidence, fostering open collaboration and enhancing storytelling abilities.

“I firmly believe that every single person has the potential for creativity within them. There’s a common misconception that creativity is an innate talent – you either have it, or you don’t. But I think that’s a false dichotomy.” says Secret Walls founder Terry Guy. “Creativity is a skill that can be developed and honed with the right mindset and environment. It’s not about genetics; it’s about self-belief and the opportunity to experiment without fear of criticism.”

“It’s all about creating an environment where people feel confident, playful, and encouraged to take risks. So, whether you’re a business owner, a teacher, or a parent, remember that everyone has the potential for creativity. Nurture and uplift those around you, and watch them unleash their full creative potential.”, he adds.

Each day’s programming will be structured around a theme that includes mural planning and character building. On the final day (June 17th), select students will combine everything they learned with a Secret Walls team battle that includes host Nick Major, DJ Olea, and renowned guest judges.

“As a unique back-to-school experience, the POSCA uni-versity program is a great opportunity to help young art students start their creative story. uni’s mission is to ‘Enrich lives by inspiring creativity and connection’, and this partnership aligns perfectly with that vision by helping students connect to their mentors, their peers, and to the brand by exploring and applying their full creative potential.” highlights uni’s President, Mike Parker.

Sessions will take place IRL at Secret Walls HQ (2272 Venice Blvd, 90006) in Los Angeles on June 5th through 8th, from 12pm to 5:00pm Pacific Time.
