ORGANIZATION: Freelance visual artist and illustrator
At the height of the social unrest over the summer in Grand Rapids, Jasmine Bruce used her artistic talent to raise awareness and bring her community together.
The freelance illustrator helped to lead four different art projects that featured artworks by herself and other Grand Rapids artists.
Bruce was a part of the Womenâs Way Initiative, which highlighted four women leaders in Grand Rapids. She painted a mural of Harriet Wood Hill, who was the first African American police officer at the Grand Rapids Police Department. The mural of Hill is in the alley of Louis Street NW at the northwest corner of the Grand Rapids Police Department.
