On Sunday I took a break from binge
watching Game of Thrones to take part in a graffiti artist collective project
hosted by Words Beats & Life, HiArts and the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts. It was a daylong mural jam featuring the work of many artists
on a 990-foot wall.
I have always been in owe of graffiti
artists and their ability to create pieces on such a large scale while still paying attention
to the detail that gives each work of art so much depth. I loved seeing them
working and it felt like a community. I will definitely have to come back and
take more pics.
The area was vivacious and I felt very
awake after a lazy day. Usually social events drain me but this gave me energy,
as I knew it would. I have found the
best way to stay inspired is to be around other inspired people, especially
those who are creators. I’ve been making
a conscious effort be around more creative folks in all-different art forms.
For me it keeps the inspiration flowing. This week I have been fuelled by this
energy. As I set out to create more I will definitely take you with me. Stay tuned.
If you are in the DC area and want to
check it out it is located between 514-680 Rhode Island Ave NE behind the
shopping plaza.
Love the look! Keep it up.
