And with that, it’s a wrap! We want to thank all of our amazing muralists this year, all of our volunteers, and our amazing team who works tirelessly to bring WALL\THERAPY to life each year!
In two short weeks, we kick off WALL\THERAPY 2018!
This year, we wanted to focus on a more intimate experience for our artists, very much like our initial production in 2011 called “Visual Intervention.” The artist will be exploring themes linked to the concept of REPRESENTATION.
We are pleased to add that Nani’s selection was curated by our friends at O+ Festival as the beginning of a working partnership with their organization.
It’s time! The artists are arriving, and here is your guide to finding where they will be painting! We’ll see you on the streets this week! Join us tonight at 1975 Gallery – 89 Charlotte St. – for our kick off event from 7-9pm! Locations are below.
Co-curator Erich Lehman and local artist Shawnee Hill were on WXXI’s NEED TO KNOW show on Thursday, you can watch it here and learn a little bit more about how WALLTHERAPY started and what you can expect this year! The WALLTHERAPY segment starts around the 18:00 min mark.
We also want to give a huge shout out to the FUA BBOY BBQ that will be going on Saturday July 19 from 9am until dark. The main event is at 914 N. Clinton Ave and stretches all along that area. This is FUA’s 25th anniversary, so stop in and check out all the crews coming out to paint! Don’t miss it!
