Real Art Ways Presents a New Community Art Project “No Guns, All Play”

No Guns, All Play
Real Art Ways will host an opening celebration for a new public art project entitled “No Guns, All Play” on Saturday, August 10, at 11:30 am at George Day Park on Arbor Street in Hartford. The public is invited to the community event; refreshments will be served.
“No Guns, All Play” is a sidewalk tattoo, commissioned by Real Art Ways and designed and created by artist Steed Taylor. Walkways in the neighborhood park will be painted with brightly colored designs and will include the participation of neighborhood children.
Steed Taylor has created 50 similar works in cities including Beijing, New York City, Washington DC, Chicago and West Palm Beach. (see images below)
Taylor’s street tattoos repurpose public space for art and bring socially engaging art to where people live.
This collaboration with Taylor stems from Real Art Ways’ commitment to its immediate neighborhood, including Park Art, a program for neighborhood youth that Real Art Ways has offered since 1990.
Youth in Park Art will observe and participate in the creation of “No Guns, All Play” beginning Wednesday, August 7, when Taylor arrives to begin the work.
The project is sponsored by Love Your Block, a program of the City of Hartford, with additional support from the Greater Hartford Arts Council.
