i don’t know what you were planning to do with this film, but you might seriously think about entering this into the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, IN (trulymovingpictures.org). It fits all of the values that Heartland looks for in a film and it is beautifully done.

I agree! As a syracuse artist (who actually paints on legal walls not even 1000 feet from that bridge) I had to drive past that every time I went to paint. And it was extremely discouraging to know that they didn’t even try to commission local, homegrown artists as well.

I didn’t see anything in the news or on any locally based websites announcing the project until it was already halfway done, and as far as I know, none of the artists I know locally heard anything either, or word would’ve gotten around. This is not a huge community we’re talking about. If a search for local artists was conducted, it wasn’t done very well.

Someone here should have shown interest, or volunteered. Syracuse needs to step up and take initiative.

If only graffiti of the illegal variety (however just as aesthetically pleasing) was able to receive such glowing reviews….

The effect these works already are having is phenomenal. It has gotten people thinking, people on the street actually talking about what art is! Beyond that, the poetry captures dead on the positive vibe in this town. Way to go, Steve and crew!

[...] Stephen Powers, his team of painters, in conjunction with Syracuse University Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor’s visionary projects, the Near Westside Initiative and COLAB are responsible for the art initiative that has gained great exposure for the city. Fall leaves, winter longs A railroad bridge on West Fayette Street, primed and in the process of being painted Spring comes summer waits Nothing to do is everything with you – painting in process Nothing to do is everything with you [...]

diggin it. like that you are drawing from the history of the place in interesting ways. sign painting seems to be enjoying a resurgence in the form of writers graduating into the profession (at least in the seattle area), it’s a natural next step.
