Art in the Streets is over. Bags and boxes are packed. Fumes consumed and it’s back to bombing, from an artist perspective or that of corporate America. While a majority of the companies came in with a proverbial game face for the arts, one company actually stands out from the wolf pack with year round efforts. The Levi’s Production Workshops are a democratic approach to arming people with a slew of valuable resources that are oft-inaccessible to the average creative individual. With the focus on the native arts of a particular city, the initiative has been a success at every stop. [Read more...]Levi’s x MoCA “Art in the Streets” Truckers
