TEEN CENTER MURAL CONTEST WINNER
We couldn't be happier with our new Teen Center mural! The mural is by local teen artist, Misha, a student at Woodside High School. Misha is one of the many talented teens that participated in the contest.

We'd like to thank our contributors for their inspirational takes on what the Teen Center means to them. We'd also like to thank our judges from the Redwood City Arts Commission, the art department at Sequoia High School and a fellow teen artist.

Last but not least, thank you to Misha for her inspiring take on reading and creativity and the world contained in both. We love our new mural! Drop by the Teen Center to see it in person.
