NYC: 'Dragon Flies and Sunflowers' Street Art Community Day Event in Battery Park/New York City by Anthony Cappetto and Art for After Hours

Hello Everyone,

Taking a minute to share a fun and rewarding experience Wendy and I had bringing street art to our community recently in Battery Park in New York City's Lower Manhattan area.

We were invited to bring street painting to the Battery Park Community for their first annual Community Field Day in a twofold fashion; the first, a conceptual street art design on the concrete wall in a handball court while the second component was a large, winding, snake for the children in attendance to jump in to color to their heart's content.

 

 

Our street art piece 'Dragon Flies and Sunflowers' for the adults...

And our giant snake moving through the pavement sea of children's chalking for a complete connection and artistic experience.

All in all, a fun day sharing our street painting with the community in Battery Park City and look forward to working on more street art in New York City and wherever our work takes us.
