Youth A.C.T. has recently opened up our gallery at the First Paris in Malden, MA to showcase all the artworks from the local artists that participated in our Urban Art Competition back in June. Our gallery opening held on October 5th was also covered in an article by the Malden Observer.

All art work form the Urban Art Competition will be on display in an exhibit at the First Parish in Malden, MA. This event will take place on October 5, 2008 at 2 PM. All the pieces are hung, and a meditation session will be held for guests before inviting them in view the art pieces. Guests will be asked to bring a recyclable item for admission to the exhibit. All admission pieces will be used to create an environmental art piece later. Our event is also on Facebook so feel free to invite anyone to attend.

Urban Art Exhibit

Workshops will begin on Wednesday, September 17 and run for about four weeks. The workshops will most likely take place at the First Parish in Malden, but may take place at Malden High School as an alternative. More information will be posted once details are worked out. We have about 10 artists so far for the mural project as well as those from the Urban Art Competition who are interested as well.

The first place winners from our Urban Art Competition will be in Lincoln Commons tomorrow (August 17, 2008) in Malden from 2PM - 5PM to help contribute to our backdrop/mural for the upcoming “This Is Art” show. Please feel free to stop by and bring friends to watch these talented artists share their creativity with the community.

James Fox, one of the judges from our Urban Art Competition, will be starting the formal muraling classes on July 15th and will be running Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 am to 2 pm. These workshops will be held at the First Parish Church in Malden. We are looking for artists to participate in this mural project especially ones from the urban art competition. We know you’re interested, and we’ll be in contact with you shortly. If anyone else would like to join in, please feel free to contact us.

We also have found a volunteer artist/curator who is willing to create our Urban Art Exhibit. Once again, we cannot thank the participants enough for coming out to the competition and sharing your talents with us. Your works will be on display in a gallery at the First Parish Church for at least two months.
