The May Show in Pictures

The Writing (and the art) is on the wall

DIY art experience draws more than 150 to Studio

MORETHAN 150 ARTISTIC souls showed up May 5 to participate in “______,” a Do-It-Yourself art experience at The Art Studio.

The idea was to offer a chance for anyone to embrace their inner child and scribble on the walls — a chance that was gleefully taken by young and old alike. Established artists worked next to children with the art merging together to form a mural that was on display for the month of May.

“It was a great success and everyone had fun,” Greg Busceme, TASI director, said. “In fact, it went so well we are thinking of having a show of this type every year. The Studio has always, as part of its mission, had the goal of including as much of the community as possible in the creative process. While we are proud of our exhibitions and the quality of the work on display in our galleries, it is also really important that people get to experience the sheer joy of making art — and do it in a manner that fosters a community spirit.”

The consensus among the attendees was that drawing on the walls was a lot of fun — but don’t try this at home.
