Massachusetts artist Bren Bataclan is bringing his colorful creativity to the Greenwich Township School District! Known for joyful characters that display one large eye and one small eye and an inspiring message of kindness, Bataclan has collaborated with students to design vibrant murals that celebrate compassion and positivity. Teachers will help bring these student-designed works to life through painting, turning school walls into beautiful reminders to “spread kindness.” Bataclan, who began his “Smile Project” by giving away paintings with kind messages, continues to inspire communities around the world. His visit encourages students to use art as a way to connect, uplift others, and make kindness a lasting part of their school culture.
