AS220 Fairey Mural Progress Pic's 08/03/2010
I have been taking photos of the new AS220 mural by Shepard Fairey going up in Providence. AS220 is a great organization that you can support by buying a copy of the print Fairey made to go along with the mural.
Here is some info from AS220:
AS220 is a non-profit community arts space in downtown Providence. Their mission is to provide an unjuried and uncensored forum for the arts. (Every summer they have a big outdoor block party now called Foo Fest.)
This Foo Fest, for AS220's 25th anniversary, launches the "Free Culture Award", a national honor bestowed every other year on two artists--its honorees: AS220's own Jukebox creator, Brandon Edens, and contemporary artist, Shepard Fairey. Fairey, an American artist, designer, illustrator & RISD grad (1992) was first recognized through his "Andre the Giant has a Possee" street art campaign. Edens & Fairey will we honored with the Free Culture Awards at Aug. 14th's Foo Fest.
AS220 has also commissioned a mural from Fairey on an exterior wall of the downtown Chafee Center, the piece will be the largest mural by Fairey in existence. To commemorate all these events, AS220 is producing a limited edition print with Fairey in two colorways. Two editions are currently in production: an edition of 400 in a red colorway at $75 and an edition of 150 in a gold colorway at $150. Art will be available a week after the August 14th Foo Fest; pre-order now to reserve yours!
