More of What Rocco Landesman Says....

Rocco Landesman, Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, wrote this in his blog after visiting:

We Took Rocco to See a Show

Rocco  Landesman at Know Theatre Rehearsal

 

We did so many things with Rocco Landesman while he spent the day with us – that we have still more to share with you.

5 artists + 1500 people + 6 blocks of street = priceless serendipitous art

One Sunday in September, 1,500 people of all of ages and from all over painted a half-mile of center-city
street pavement in an unprecedented act of community art-making conceived & organized by ArtsWave.

Watch what happened in this time-lapse video - 12 hours in a minute and half.

 

Pones Dances at Paint the Street

First, Pones Inc invited everyone to paint the dancers. Then their musician friends played for us all while Pones danced -- and so did some of the citizen painters. Watch the slide show movie to see some of the fun.
