New Plywood Art, Courtesy of "Art Not Crime"

This month, Emerson Space Case and Art Not Crime are teaming up to place new plywood art on the south wall of the Emerson building!

This project incorporates four artists, and four pieces of plywood, creating two gigantic pieces.  The art was done live on Alberta Street during the Art Hop on May 15th.

Art Not Crime is headed up by DeAngelo Raines.  (He's the guy pictured painting the ghetto blaster above and below.)  Here's their mission statement from their website:

Art Not Crime is the place where individuals create urban inspired pieces of art, and display them in places where their art is appreciated as the language of this new culture, and not classified as crime. This organization is an effort to build positive relations with the public, and create awareness to the necessity of alternative arts programs for local street artists. We organize bi-monthly live art events/fundraisers to showcase talent and sell art creations. We specialize in restoring vandalized properties, and installing mural art that builds community, and discourages future vandalism.

And here are the finished pieces on the wall!  They'll be up until the end of July.
