Brightside Advocacy, in collaboration with Chatham County Juvenile Court, and Johnson High School, is proud to announce the unveiling of a newly completed mural at the Chatham County Juvenile Court. The community is invited to celebrate this meaningful project during a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 9:00 AM, at the Chatham County Juvenile Court, located at 197 Carl Griffin Drive in Savannah.

The mural represents the power of community partnerships, youth creativity, and the importance of creating welcoming, uplifting environments for young people navigating the juvenile justice system.

Through the collaborative efforts of Brightside Advocacy, Chatham County Juvenile Court, and Johnson High School, students have had the opportunity to contribute their artistic talents to a project that will leave a lasting impression on the courthouse and those who visit it.

"This mural is more than a work of art. It is a beautiful reminder of what can happen when our community comes together to invest in young people, encourage creativity, and create spaces that inspire hope," states Jamie Kiser, CASA Advocacy Coordinator.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony will recognize the students, art educators, court representatives, and community partners whose dedication and collaboration made this project possible. The event will also provide an opportunity to celebrate the positive impact of youth engagement and the role of creative expression in building stronger, more compassionate communities. Members of the media are encouraged to attend to capture the mural unveiling, meet the individuals involved, and highlight this inspiring collaboration between education, advocacy, and the juvenile justice system.
