Graffiti - Art in Action 2010 Pictures
Art in Action 2010!
As a response to citizens' requests to engage youth, the City of San Antonio's Graffiti Abatement Program (GAP) partnered with Our Lady of the Lake University to offer an intensive 8-week art program for at-risk youth ages 14-21 years. Working under the supervision of a professional artist, Jane Madrigal, the 20 kids (many of them taggers) experienced gallery and mural tours before tackling a full summer of planning and applying 6 paint-brush murals. Elmendorf Dam, the mural site, was a chronically tagged drainage area that was constantly a neighborhood eyesore. With some careful planning, the participants created each and every panel with the community in mind. The summer project culminated into a mural unveiling and screen-print auction in August, where Councilman Ray Lopez and former Councilwoman Delicia Herrera presented each participant with a certificate. The auction proceeds were used to buy art store gift cards for each participant, in hopes that they will continue to use their creativity legally.
