The People's Art - Our World Tuesday

  All art is not in galleries and museums.  People in rundown neighborhoods have found a way to have beauty and color in their lives -- in an outdoor gallery, using buildings for canvas.

 

Celebrating the people of a neighborhood

To the far right on the black chalkboard people have written their names beside their addresses in an effort to create a neighborhood out of many diverse cultures.

This mural is in an alley.  It glitters and sparkles and asks a very important question:

"What do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

 

Enlarge this one so you can see the details.  It is a mixture of scenes from Israel, the city skyscape, and rural Minnesota geese and lakes, with someone from the neighborhood viewing it all.

In a nook in a wall, propped up on a fallen brick and nearly hidden, is painting of Medusa.  She is wearing glasses.

 

“Art is an evolutionary act. The shape of art and its role in society is constantly changing. At no point is art static. There are no rules.”
― Raymond Salvatore Harmon
