Drawings needed:

to the larger community:

RAW needs drawings, or pics of tags, burners, or anything you might want to do in big scale in public. RAW is getting walls but we don't have any work or artist to use them.

New Wall Approved

to the community:

I would like to thank OSL, for all their hard work and support to help RAW start the process of creating a public art policy on campus. It all starts with learning how this school works and what will work and not. OSL has been helping create a commited group to help us get walls and public art APPROVED.

cheers,

yarrow

Graffiti in the MET

R.A.W panels installed over summer, as an example of the positive influence street art can make.

work done by:

Yarrow's Cans

Discovery:

At this point we are scouting and looking for possible walls on RISD campus. We are hoping to discover new possible walls which can inspire students to work in a large and public format, while also helping to educate the public about the positive sides of Public art and how it can affect the daily lives of the people who live and work around these pieces of art.

Organization:

To the greater community:

R.A.W: Risd Art Walls is in the process of getting started I'm currently processing all the emails from the 1st block party and setting up our 1st meeting on campus. I'm very excited about this program and look forward to starting a new chapter of Public Art on the RISD campus starting this year.

Just Starting Out:

This is one of the 1st ART WALLS on RISD campus, the work was done by Yarrow's Cans staff: Wizart Spoke over the summer using Montana Gold spray paint.
