The public needs art – and it is the responsibility of a ‘self-proclaimed artist’ to realize that the public needs art, and not to make bourgeois art for a few and ignore the masses.
-Keith Haring

Involvement

Art is at its best when it pulls you in and involves you in its visual solution
In galleries and museums we are spoon fed the interpretations
We are told this art or that is important for one reason or another
No involvement needed…no thinking on our part…at least not much
But city wall art is all about involvement and personal interpretation

We’re involved…
In determining if should be there at all
Involved in who created it
Involved on what it means…the implied messaging
Involved in judging if the final creation is art at all
We get involved because we the people own our city environment
We are involved…all of us…artist(s) and viewer(s)
