The Bench Project

The Music Park's handcrafted benches are a true community effort. Designed by La Familia de Arte, each bench features mosaic tiles with empowering messages and names from our local community.

These benches aren’t just for sitting—they represent resilience, unity, and the creative spirit that defines The New State.

This project was made possible through collaboration with local businesses, artists, and youth.

A special thank you to everyone who participated, including Fit4You MKE for providing lavender lemonade, Bank of Flowers for flowers, and Vibez Creative Art Space for their support with paint and supplies.

We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous donors whose contributions made this project possible. Your support continues to inspire and enable us to create lasting change in our community.
