TWLOHA PIECE BY PIECE: A PICTURE MURAL
To Write Love on Her Arms and Electric Forest present Piece by Piece: A Pixel Mural, a community-building art installation on Main Street.
For the past two years, The Forest Family has been invited to connect with one another and spend a few mindful moments painting a selection of “pixels” that make up the Mural. Piece by piece, pixel by pixel, together in community, a beautiful tapestry is revealed.

Together, Electric Forest and Two Write Love on Her Arms have collaborated to bring the Forest Family meaningful collaborations on Main Street in the GA Campgrounds, beginning with the Barrier Project.
With the Barrier Project, To Write Love on Her Arms invited the Forest Family to build a wall, painting the words, symbols, and phrases that represented our internal barriers onto it. At the end of the weekend, the wall was broken down piece by piece and distributed to attendees, offered as a token of our intentions for improvement and a reminder that the walls in our lives are not permanent.
Then, in 2023 and 2024, instead of breaking down a wall piece by piece, we embarked on building something together, piece by piece. TWHOLA invited us to spend some mindful moments contributing to this larger tapestry. At first, it felt like our contributions were tiny, but we put trust in the growing process. By the end of the weekend, the Forest Family had built a beautiful Mural together.

Along with their dose, each person who got certified also received an End Overdose certification card that states the name of the End Overdose trainer, their name, and the date of the training. Throughout the festival, End Overdose had the opportunity to train the Forest Family, vendors, staff, and artists, touching all parts of the Electric Forest community, while raising awareness and education for overdose response.
CAMP GEAR DONATION PROGRAM
In 2024, Electricology launched the Camp Gear Donation program, inviting Forest Family to donate their lightly used camp gear - including tents, sleeping bags, coolers, and more - to a Camp Gear Donation Location where the Electricology team collected for donation.
All acceptable gear was donated back into the local community through youth nature programs Camp Newaygo and Parks in Focus by TrueNorth Community Services, and folks experiencing houselessness through the Community Action House.
HQ is committed to helping divert usable gear from landfills and into community members’ hands, giving a second life to valuable items while supporting sustainability, reducing waste, and fostering a culture of reuse and environmental responsibility.
