You are invited to join 50+ of the world's best graffiti artists hailing from overseas and 10 US States who will display their awesome talents in a live painting event over one incredible weekend, September 25, 26, and 27. Watch the murals develop during the weekend long celebration. Be inspired. Embrace creativity and art within our community.
Painting will start on the Cornell University Press Building at 770 Cascadilla Street, Ithaca, around 10 am on Friday September 25 and finish with a special dedication ceremony at 1 pm on Sunday September 27. Names of special guests will be announced soon.
A group art show is planned for Saturday September 26 from 7 to 11 pm at Lot 10 on Cayuga Street. It is open to the public and will feature works of many of the participating artists providing a unique opportunity to purchase originals from your favorite artists. An after party will follow.
This event is being made possible by a lot of very generous organizations.
All artists' paint is graciously sponsored by Ironlak's Sugar Artists’ Acrylic and Yard Master. The paint being used now to prep the walls has been donated by Ace Hardware of Ithaca at Triphammer Market Place and an anonymous donor. All overhead costs are covered by a Celebrations Grant from the Tompkins County Tourism Board, together with funds generously donated by Cornell University Hip-Hop Collection, Greenstar Natural Foods Market, Ithaca Bakery, and The Westy. Gifts in kind have been donated by FedEx Office, Ithaca Beer Co., Lot 10, Purity IceCream and Rick's Rentals.
