Bridging the Gap is a mural that highlights the importance of bridging the gap between community elders and youth as illustrated by different activities and services offered by Bailey’s Cafe. Bailey’s Cafe is not actually a cafe; it is a community center for educational and cultural activity. The mural has five panels each showing different aspects of how the mission is achieved. Actual people from the community are featured in the mural, as well as actual events that Bailey’s is known for. The mural features an emphasis on community programs that bring the youth and elderly together, such as, musical performances, urban gardening, and theater. The fifteen young artists participated in some of the events and programs to get an idea of what Bailey’s really stands for.
