Dunnell Wall complete

I would like to say that RISD's 1st RAW wall which was done by a student who gave us a proposal and a wall on campus he wanted to paint is done on time an under budget. RAW would like to thanx CSI and Facilities for allowing this to happen. You all can see how positive this can be for student live on campus. We will be hosting a public crit in the next 2 weeks, which will include a formal blessing from a faculty who has been studying Roger Williams.

New wall approved: Dunnell retaining wall

The wall which is a retaining wall for Dunnell House, is the 1st wall location submitted by a student with a sketch. Which is very exciting as this is what our club is all about, and after 1 month of discussion with the school RAW has got the permission to move forward, which includes free paint for the student, and a mentor to help design and install this unique project. Keep posted, as we will have a crit when this wall is done and are very interested in student and faculty feedback.

New R.A.W wall installed today

This wall was just completed for 2nd time, and is better then ever. Spent the entire day talking to students and faculty about Risd Art Walls, I'm planning an open crit which will be in about a week to open the discussion of public art on campus and what people think good and bad.

This wall is located next to the Foundry on campus, come take a look.

Welcome all new students: the Block Party was a success

to the RISD community,

The block party was a success, RAW set up a live painting station were we had 3 panels for students to paint on. During this time we signed up over 80 interested students and emptied over 100 cans of Montana Gold cans of paint. We also had a special guest a local writer who came and Blasted out a original panel for all to see.

Check out the finished panel which will be hung on campus in the near future. Their will be a code next to the panel and a email. the first 5 to send the correct code to the email will get a prize.

RISD student vandalism: what do you think!

To the community,

This is a prime example of student vandalism, from looking around and talking to people a student took it upon themselves to vandalize this public painting, with no regards to the artist who spent many hours creating this piece of art for people to enjoy.

Give me your feed back, what do you think of this students actions.

** As part of RAW's club mission the club will work with the artist to fix all walls at no cost to the school.

New work on Campus:

This is a pic of the wall before RAW took over, very dull and not inspiring.

To start this wall was rolled in a 2 color fade, to create a base

This is the wall half way through, the artist is working on outline of the lettering.
