    • Via Colori – Street Art Benefiting CHS

    Posted on | February 23, 2009 | No Comments

    This past fall several members of Houston’s creative community were selected to serve as Culture Scouts for the Houston Arts Alliance’s “Art the Heart of Houston” viral video campaign. Our three-month misson: to explore new venues, to seek out new art and new installations…and to capture them with Flip videocams for upload to the website.

    The Flips were fun; the uploading was not. But the goal was, and is, important: in a city as sprawling as Houston, we have to take it upon ourselves to seek out, recognize, and share great work when we encounter it, so that others can discover and enjoy it, too.

    I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing so many great openings, exhibits, and performances within the past few months: one of my favorites by far was Via Colori – a street art event to raise funds for the Center for Hearing and Speech (CHS). I couldn’t upload all of the great pieces to the campaign site; but here they are via YouTube to enjoy:

    And if you want to help support the arts, please join us this Saturday (February 28) at ArtCamp Houston 9:30am-5pm at Caroline Collective – it’s free!
