Uptown Summer of Art Continued

4500 Block of Hazel at Sunnyside
This project on the along the sidewalk turned a Voice of the People property on Hazel into an outdoor art gallery.

 acilitated by Architreasures along with the mosiac completed in 2013 and the enlarged historical photos VOP is raising the bar on community art in Uptown.

"Crossing Boundaries in Uptown (2013–present)"

"archi-treasures partnered with Voice of the People in Uptown to create and promote a positive image of the Uptown Community through a series of artwork. Sidewalk gallery murals, historic photo panels, and a sculpture are meant to document the history of Uptown and serve safe passage markings. The artwork is being created though employment programs for Uptown youth, a luncheon with long-term neighborhood residents, and partnerships with local schools and nonprofits. The artwork brings to light Uptown’s rich history, strengths, diversity, progress, investments and successes; with the intention of fostering a sense of pride, safety, and empowerment."

Me at work...painting is work.

The new letters are light and dark to pop-out against a background that is also light and dark.

Close-up of new lettering.

The "old" look.
