In
conjunction with its upcoming exhibit, “ Top 2 Bottom—A Journey Through the
Elements of Hip-Hop Culture,” Tompkins County Public Library will host
“Graffiti Art Lab,” a workshop for children ages 8 to 14, March 23 from 1 to
2:30 p.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.
Facilitated by local graffiti artists, “Graffiti Art Lab” is designed to introduce young artists to the world of graffiti painting. Participants will learn about common techniques, how to choose a “name,” how to create their own writing style and how to produce finished works of art. Graffiti created during the Lab will be included in the Library’s much-anticipated exhibit “Top 2 Bottom,” which will be on display at TCPL from March 29 through June 14.
This exhibit is part of “Unbound from the Underground—An Ithaca Community Celebration of Hip-Hop Culture. “Graffiti Art Lab” will provide young artists with a crash course in the art that grew from Hip-Hop culture. It will serve as a precursor to “Get-Up State,” a program bringing graffiti artists from around the world to Ithaca for three days of live, mural painting. “Get-Up State,” will take place from April 5 through April 7 when artists transform the stark Cornell University Press Services building at 770 Cascadilla Street into a vibrant work of art.
“Graffiti Art Lab is free; however, advance registration is required. To register, contact Sally Grubb at (607) 272-4557 extension 232 or sgrubb@tcpl.org
