This mural is a grand version of Shepard Fairey's "Creativity, Equity, Justice" artwork, painted in conjunction with its offer as a limited edition print. Information about the piece from the artist's OBEYGIANT website:
In celebration of #FACINGTHEGIANT #OBEYGIANT30TH, I’m releasing this “Creativity, Equity, Justice” print in Providence, RI. If you’re attending the lecture at RISD on October 21st, or the opening of my 30th-anniversary show, “Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent” on October 25th at AS220, be sure to pick up this print while you’re at it – it will be available at both events!
This print is a portrait of Anjel Newmann, Director of Programs and Youth Director of AS220 – a non-profit community arts organization based in downtown Providence with whom I’ve worked since the ’90s. AS220 is important to me because they have cultivated a creative community that continues to have a profoundly transformative impact on the city. I’m inspired by Anjel’s dedication to this organization, where she’s been a member since she was 13 years old, learning from a diverse set of communities and facilitating access to opportunities for young people across the city of Providence. Thank you Anjel and AS220 for all that you do for the people of Rhode Island!
