examples from other property in RI
I thought it would be good to show some examples of a set of walls in Providence RI. The wall is 240 feet long and during the warm months get painted and change every week, almost every continant in the world has been represent in the 2 years the walls have been open to the public, and the work has attracted interest from the city, and gained respect from the local artist on a street level.
The work I'm trying to do with RISD is to create a simular experience with a strict set of rules and guide lines, RISD is an amazing place in the world but what is amazing to see is the lack of public art, yet their is a waiting list over a year long for every gallery space on campus.
Moving forward 1 step at a time:
to the community:
After a long year of working with OSL to work on setting up a board and review panel to accept a contract and set of rules to work with, I have learned a lot and am working on version 2. This year has been a great learning experiance for everyone, at this point RAW has permission for 2 walls on campus and are hoping to get these done this spring. I was hoping to get many more walls done this year but am happy that the school has jumped off and is starting down this long road of working together to create a positive and active public art policy on campus.
