Teen Graffiti Art On Display

by hillary dorwart

Remember to check out the Teen Graffiti panels on display at the Downtown Library in the Multi-Purpose Room and also on the third floor. See the artwork of the thirty artists (including the three winners!) who came out during the Art Fair to express themselves in graffiti art. Panels will be on display until Tuesday, August 30 - including this rose from one of the winning artists!

I haven't had a chance to check out the art yet, but if they are all as amazing as the rose one then I'm sure they are all amazing! I'll have to make time to come check it out:)

Not to say anything critical, but I hope these teens are being instructed that graffiti art is not something to be done outside on buildings, bridges, communication boxes, etc. There is so much new graffiti around A2 and it is costly to remove. It's great that teens can creatively express themselves on paper or canvas in a structured classroom setting, but hopefully the message is clear about where this "art" is appropriate and where it is not.

sally789, I hope you get the opportunity to see the exhibit. All the teen artists sign a waiver/registration form before entering the contest. In this waiver it is clear what our expectations are and that their paintings will be part of an exhibit at the library. The paintings range from planets, peace slogans, flowers, hearts, and abstract designs; they are fun-loving and creative. We plan this single program to coincide with the Ann Arbor Art Fair; we think it's a good fit for this weeks' happenings in the community.
