Inspired by Asian Arts Initiative’s exhibition, Corner Store: Take-Out Stories, Asian Arts Initiative's Youth Arts Workshop participants collaboratively designed and constructed a life-size corner store from repurposed, reclaimed materials, and mixed media. The purpose of this project was to explore, analyze, and interpret the culture that

surrounds and inhabits a neighborhood corner store. How can these places impact and influence the ways our communities’ interact and flourish? Our corner store was designed to promote and encourage healthier, more positive lifestyles and relationships in our community.
