I need to raise some funds quickly and what better way than to dive right into my 2016 commitment to reviving the joy of street art in my personal community of students, colleagues and friends!
Announcing:
My 72-hour pledge drive to revive the 119 East Cordova Street Art Wall!
2 PM December 30, 2015- 2 PM January 2, 2016
Bird drawing marathon!
For each $10 raised I will be drawing a bird in my signature style:
These original bird drawings will be wheatpasted on the 119 East Cordova Street Art Wall with a few of my students/artist friends in the new year!
This wall was an important part of my work a few years back and well-loved by the community. It even appeared in the Hope in the Shadows 2015 Calendar!
It is time to revive the wall for the local residents and get back to vibrancy, healing power and joy that is street art!
My goal is to draw 120 birds (dead and alive depending on my whim) over the next 72 hours!

My personal mission is to awaken creative expression through local and global art initiatives.
One initiative partners me with Operation Sock Monkey to create a life skills and entrepreneurship handbook. Our goal is to implement local pilot projects in the Fall and to bring the work to New York City and San Francisco youth programs in Spring 2015 and then to South Africa September 2015.
At Intersections Media we love Art Mondays! Besides filmmaking, a significant part of Intersections is dipping our hands into the visual art/creative processand into art history by creating art work that interprets the masters and that creates community dialogue. On Mondays we cover the art component and attack the canvas. We are in the process of creating a new piece of art with the current intake inspired by Keith Haring:

Keith Allen Haring (May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990) was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s by expressing concepts of birth, death, sexuality, and war.Haring’s work was often heavily political and his imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century.

The current canvas was covered in gesso last week and last Monday we started the painting process! Stay tuned for the finished piece next week.

I don’t think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it. – Keith Haring
We need art supplies for Intersections so that we can create more art! NOW THAT WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL, LET’S QUADRUPLE IT! This will help us facilitate further and expand this important work!

Together we can increase participation in the arts
I LOVE SEEING WHAT PEOPLE DO TO MY ART DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR AN EVENT! By adding and changing they make it their own!

At my events in June, the subjects of portraits I had started were in attendance. The portraits were lined on the walls and art supplies were made available. The attendees finished the portraits during the events as part of a large interactive art therapy session celebrating the subjects and celebrating freedom of expression!!! At first I worried no one would dare add to the portraits. Needless to say, my worries were unwarranted!!!
I strive to give to others a sense of sacredness, because an art event is not just a formal fact but also a moment where you put a mark on your dedication. You must have a feeling of joining a tribe where there is the stick of command, because you are in a sacred place with its rules. – Enzo Cucchi
Audience development, community dialogue and promotion of your cause through interactive art events
