Tehrell Porter Hearts RYSE

Noted mural artist Tehrell Porter brought his talent to RYSE. Teaching air brush skills to our RYSE youth, allowed them to explore their creative side and develop their artistic skills on a big scale.

Tehrell’s presentation and ability to relate to our youth was incredibly well received. Further classes are scheduled. RYSE looks to the multiple ways our youth can find their potential and develop it to its fullest. Thanks Tehrell for helping our creative young people soar.
