The Art Room's 2025 Community Art Project "From These Roots"

Original 1957 American Legion Hall Post No. 840 Mural & Quilt of a Sankofa bird

Paper collage & cotton fabric

American Legion Senior Center
629 Lakey Street, Denton, TX 76205

September 2025

As part of our mission and in concert with our North Texas Giving Day fundraising campaign, The Art Room historically has given back to the community by donating large scale artworks to other Denton area nonprofits, collaborating with community members to design and create the artwork, while highlighting what it means to be a community.

This year we’re working with the American Legion Hall Senior Center (ALH) to beautify their space and to elevate the underrepresented voices of seniors, Veterans, and the Black community by celebrating the history of the American Legion Hall and its importance to Southeast Denton. We’ve titled our project From These Roots, expressing our desire to simultaneously honor our elders, the history of the ALH Senior Center, the gift of wisdom that the past brings us–now and in the future– and how meaningful social connections fuel our well-being.
