Here’s a clip of cre8tive YouTH*ink going hard on day 1 of the Ray Smith Studio Presents! Art School without Walls, Vol. 1 with Sofia Maldonado!
I am I am shamelessly soliciting your patronage and support via Kickstarter .
For those of you already over Kickstarter – all of our crew earned a day’s pay on Saturday, and we had twice as many kids as we expected – we can really use all the help we can get. So, ignore the following and just do it already! 🙂
We resume work on Tuesday – with a our High School Galeristas expected at 4pm. I think there will be many mouths to feed!!
For those of you who don’t know about it. Kickstarter is a fund raising internet platform for creative projects. It’s formally called “crowd funding”, and it allows the public to support projects that they want to. Each level of support triggers a reward for the funder, and the public can now support projects that they like for as little as $5-$10-$25 or more.
It’s more about taking the time than it is about the amount you pledge – the smaller pledges have really been adding up. It’s nice to know that your few bucks really count!
Please do it NOW! Kickstarter
One Love – Love Mista Oh.

By the time I got to Brooklyn, the Art School Without Walls had been in session only two hours. But the eight young painters who had assembled on this lot near the Gowanus Canal were already moving as a team, efficiently taking their cues from Sofia Maldonado, the master muralist.
Some of the kids, who are students or recent graduates of Brooklyn high schools, are longtime members of the Galeristas Adolescentes, who worked together last summer on a rooftop painting on Atlantic Avenue.
