Mullen Brings all regional Artist together to claim their new home at the Artist Run New Living Art Space at 4555 Queen Street. She made arrangements with the land owner and the city to open their minds to the local artist community whom need a platform to express themselves and all agree that Niagara has been neglecting the creative class for decades. She will lead the re-birthing of the historic downtown in hope to avoid new development and recycle and revitalize the beautiful old historical community.

Downtown Niagara Falls, Canada
May 2008
Mullen expresses her and her supporters concern in hopes to pass legislation that would notify the public when raw sewage dumps are made to our public waters. The municipality dumps raw sewage in our public water on days when the facilities are overloaded, but there is no announcement or any kind of notification to the public. Mullen presented a 20 minute power point presentation describing the many harmful affects raw sewage has on the public water ecosystem and just as importantly the health concerns it causes to our peers.
Because of her presentation, Mullen was successful in setting new municipal legislation that secures proper public awareness when such events occur.
