Happy 2018 Everyone!
With a new year underway, we look back at the 2017 3D and 4D pieces by internationally recognized artist Anthony Cappetto created around the US and around the world.
The art was fun to design, to create, and we look forward to more 3D art for our clients, returning and new.
New York Build: Javits Center, NYC
Inspired by the iconic 'Lunch Atop a Skyscraper', we created the steel beam hovering over Manhattan at a Building Tradeshow.
'Collapsing Ramp' Garden Grove, CA: A 3D chalk art piece tying in augmented reality (4D) seen through an onsite monitor. We used digital models of robots and fluttering flags of our client to bring human interaction (me on bicycle), the 3D hand drawn chalk art, and the augmented reality animation.
Sunflowers and dragonflies in Battery Park, NYC: A street art installation for an event for Battery Park City Parks in June.
'Freedom' Baltimore, MD: A social and political statement made to address the current atmosphere in the US with the concept of butterflies escaping oppression in any of its forms in September.
'Betta Fish Kite' Crewe, England, United Kingdom: Expressing the beauty and conceptuality of a fish kite hovering over the countryside at a festival in the UK last August.
'A Puzzling Reality' Tizarte Event in Antwerp, Belgium: A 3D street art piece using a purposely fading motif of a puzzle fading away to 'reality' and objects such as the sunflowers fading from higher resolution to simpler resolution. Our dragonflies were designed consistently at the same level across the piece to overlay/tie in the fadeaway concept.
' Refugee: Here but Not Here...': A serious piece address the issue of refugee children throughout the world, although we focused on Syria, South Sudan, and Myanmar. The child in an atmosphere of desolation enjoys a respite blowing bubbles (given to her by an aid worker) evanescent, temporal just as we feel for the child's plight but move on quickly - Here but Not Here...
LIC Beer Festival, Long Island City NYC: A sunny Fall day brought us to create this entertaining design with pumpkins, pretzels, and of course - beer!
This was a fun year with the art experimenting with tying in animated augmented reality, conceptual ideas, sociopolitical messages, and interacting with our public in the US and abroad.
A special thanks to Wendy Stum who assisted and collaborated with me on some of the pieces especially 'Freedom' and ' Refugee: Here but Not Here...'.

Hello Everyone!
Just got back from an exciting project in Garden Grove, CA where Art for After Hours created a 4D project using animated augmented reality with traditional, hand drawn and designed 3D chalk art for the Open Streets Event April 1st. No jokes here! :D
Here is our video highlighting the art and the tech... Watch for Anthony interacting with the animated robot in AR live (at the time), jumping briefly on the bike, then choosing to run, jump and exit the 'Collapsing Ramp' ...
Note: For information purposes -
Top: Finished 3D art
Bottom: 4D animated augmented reality added to art (robots and flags) live onsite. Photo seen through large monitor screen so there was a difference in colors.
Now some bright, active street painting pictures!
The importance of the 3D chalk work, traditionally hand drawn in our opinion brings the art and the technology together as past, present, and future as one cohesive whole.
Yes, a screen grab but the concept is clear - traditional 3D anamorphically drawn street painting can and does mingle well with animated AR for an experience in public engagement unlike any other in street art. Art for After Hours Founder and Artist Anthony Cappetto has been a Pioneer and an Early Adopter with virtual spaces, reality, and augmented reality demos and launches in the US and India since the mid 2000s with only more detailed, conceptual, and forward thinking engagements to come.
Anthony Cappetto is an internationally recognized artist known for his works in 3D anamorphic art in chalk and paint using 4D animated augmented reality, virtual reality, and virtual spaces as well as Founder of Art for After Hours, the first professional street painting art company in 2001.

Recent, rapid interest in the rise of 4D in the public mind, coupled with the recent introduction of the 'Pokemon Go' phenomenon spreading across national US and soon if not already global markets has taken 4D from the early adopters, pioneers,etc., to the young, trendy demographics across the country.
Given this welcome introduction of 4D to the general population, Art for After Hours and I have been sought out by a whole new group of prospective clientele who want to have the immersivity and concept of the 4D street, chalk art experience. With the new interest comes the importance of clarifying what 4D is, what 3D is, and the understandings of time, logistics, and value with this evolutionary advancement in the street painting/chalk/emerging technologies art form.
This post is aimed at corporate, agency, and events clients who are exploring 4D street art immersive installations desiring a professional, sophisticated 4D experience using chalk type art work for total traditional art/emerging technologies experiences.
NOTE: We are not involved or implying involvement in anything to do with Pokemon GO, Nintendo, or any of their interests in any way shape or form with our business.
That bit of housekeeping cleared, as a user of the app, I gave it a whirl in NYC:
Lots of fun, watched out for others, vehicles, etc...
As any professional client would surmise, there is a lot of planning, coordination, let alone coding, programming, etc. to realize this simple scene using augmented reality (AR).
Now for an ARt for After Hours project as a simple level for explanatory purposes...
Composite picture that Art for After Hours uses with our recent 4D chalk art installation 'Asian Fusion'. Top to bottom: overall finished 3D dry chalk with 4D bowl/chopsticks AR; Anthony Cappetto of Art for After Hours with AR of 4D bowl/chopsticks as part of public demo; VR demo using elements of chalk drawn Chinese bowl within virtual walk-through based upon the 'Asian Fusion' concept designed and conceived by Artist Anthony Cappetto. Special thanks to my NYC based technology team for helping me achieve these concepts.
A full project using 4D with 3D street art would go far above this simple demonstration in terms of design of the AR models, placements, interaction with the human participants, deployment to viewers, attendees, etc., all with the work involved in designing and applying the 3D chalk/mural art in terms of ground, floor panels, placement of viewpoint for completely different viewing experiences and more.
All of this takes large and committed pre-planning, planning for 3D and 4D aspects, coordination of all, then deployment in one or multiple locations...
A well thought out and executed solution is worth the understanding, time, and effort. Feel free to reach out to Anthony Cappetto of Art for After Hours for more details and a straightforward discussion.

Greetings from Wendy and I here at Art for After Hours!
This has been another banner year for the company and so excited about what 2016 has in store!
We're pleased to share some of the highlights from our projects and travels as well as a taste of 2016 3D/4D too...
Winter found Art for After Hours creating two 3D immersive designs for the inaugural #DubaiCanvas exhibition festival in Dubai, UAE for the Dubai Media Office. We were among a select group of the world's elite 3D street painting artists asked to create works for the festival. 'Supercars' (above) celebrated the weekend parade of super luxury vehicles making their way down the 'Walk' at Jumeriah Beach - a sight to see!
Our second piece at #DubaiCanvas was a taste of the old updated for a popular audience. 'Magic Carpet Ride' allowed us to 'fly' in the style of the 'Arabian Nights'... We enjoyed the creation of the art, and the opportunity to meet so many interesting and friendly people...
In the spring, we were busy working on projects that inspired and allowed us to share some of the fundamentals in the street painting art form. For the last two years, Art for After Hours has been working with the Furman University Art Department to provide workshops and to allow the students to try their hand at the street painting art form for the first time.
In June, we brought the 3D street painting art form to the Junebug Festival in Metuchen, NJ and flew high on the Junebug over the tri-state area!
As the summer got hot, so did our regional project load with a favorite being our 3D piece in Elmira, NY. Revisiting a 1970's era favorite pastime - solving the Rubiks Cube...
The 3D was great! Solving the cube - still working on that... ;)
Back to Europe in August doing our take on 'gardening' at the Wilhelmshaven Street Art Festival in Wilhelmshaven, Germany...
Just remember, That's not a Daisy... ;D
Fall became very busy very fast with a series of Festival appearances, Murals in Switzerland, and more...
'Spaghetti' 3D exhibition piece in Baltimore, MD for the Italian Restaurant Association as part of the Little Italy Baltimore Madonnari Arts Festival...
A stop in Marietta, GA as a participant in the Chalktoberfest showing our patriotism - Great, friendly people and art!
Back to Europe to design and paint an indoor 3D illusionary mural for a private luxury residential property in Geneva, Switzerland... The art measured over 22 feet high from base of stairs to underside of rafter.
And straight back to the USA for a 3D exhibition work at the Sarasota Venice Festival for a warm up to the Holidays...
Our 'Home Sweet (Gingerbread) Home' - an immersive 3D piece which allows our viewers to become a part of the art beyond being a spectator alone..
We are very excited about 2016 especially in terms of the availability of technology to become part of the 3D street art scene as we have advocated for many years...
Watch for some particularly interesting developments from Art for After Hours and Anthony Cappetto in the USA and internationally...
Happy Holidays from the entire Art for After Hours team!!!

Hi Everyone,
Art for After Hours is enjoying a busy year bringing 3D chalk art to our clients and their attendees across the US and internationally. This is my latest 3D chalk art piece completed May 12th at the Artisphere International Arts Festival in Greenville SC. In the distance, you can see a promotional piece created in chalk by Artist Shawn McCann. Here's our story...
Art for After Hours was asked to create two chalk art pieces for the event, one the 3D chalk piece and the second being the 2013 promotional piece originally designed by international artist Amos Amit.
I designed my piece to indicate the walkway down to the riverwalk by the Reedy River in the artistic imagery of Amos Amit as well as a homage to previous chalk art created by Art for After Hours in years past.
Walking down the stairs and into the image an imaginary passerby could recall works such as 'Waterfall' , a piece that I did in 2010 (below)...
Or some of the chalk art works by Shawn McCann (below):
It has been a nice walk down memory lane for Art for After Hours... Now on to Shawn's current piece from the 2013 event.
Artist Shawn McCann with his completed reproduction of 'Night and Day', (originally created by Amos Amit) for Art for After Hours at the 2013 Artisphere International Arts Festival.
It was a great weekend for us, the weather was generally nice, and despite a bit of rain, the art turned out great and we were interviewed by the local NBC and Fox affiliates, bringing even more viewers to see us creating and interacting with our art.
Special thanks to Artisphere for having Art for After Hours come to bring our chalk art, and to the viewers in Greenville who come to see us and the artists we bring each year.
