During 2021, the community became our 4D canvas and an extended experience bringing street painting art to many who had never seen our art form previously.
Here are the projects we did as public art for our community in 2021:
Special thanks to 31st Avenue Open Streets in Astoria. Looking forward to expanding presence in 2022.
4D Animated Augmented Reality Environments GoldfishBowl with Koi Pond Chalk Art (July 2021)
4D Animated Augmented Reality Environments: Harry the Chalk Grasshopper and AR Friends (August 2021)
4D Animated Augmented Reality Environments: ‘Jack and the Ghost Bats’ (Halloween 2021)
Coming in Spring of 2022 we will take everything seen to this point to the next level with a new immersive metaverse experience from our other company, Innovative Street Painting Group. This will be a hybrid mixing of virtual and physical spaces. Watch the ispg-inc.com space…

This summer has been a great time to launch our 4D augmented reality projects here in the tri state area (NY, NJ, CT) and we have our latest project to share with our viewers.
This one brought 4D AR art of a goldfish swimming in a fishbowl while watching the chalk drawn koi pond drawn in real time during our event.
Watch Wendy and me have some fun interacting with the 4D augmented reality goldfish and the chalk koi pond art...
At left is our previous 4D augmented reality work from Westfield NJ next to our latest at the 31st Avenue Open Streets Program in NYC showing professional chalk art to our own community which was especially fun for us.
We're excited about the possibilities with 4D augmented reality with chalk art, murals, and the beauty of hand drawn art in all ways with our clients. If you feel the same reach out to Art for After Hours to discuss your plans with us soon.

Needless to say, 2020 has been a year in our world's collective experience that none of us will ever forget.
The human and social loss has been breathtaking and unbelievable.
As an artist that typically brought 3D art and technology solutions to our corporate, festival, and nonprofit clients to live events with crowds of people, like most businesses had to revisit the how to do this, but the why, and how to respond and grow to a new normal. This is the how, why, and grow Art for After hours did and will do in the new year ahead.
All public work was done maintaining social distancing guidelines.
Corporate and Virtual Festival Work
From top left, to right:
'Dandelions Blow Away' an illusionary piece as a painted mural carrying a message that the troubles our world is currently having will 'blow away' sooner than later. This was created for the Stawell Virtual Festival in Australia.
3D chalk piece for freshman orientation day at Seton Hall University in New Jersey.
Corporate project for Marc Jacobs 'Heaven' campaign at Brooklyn waterfront for a private event in Fall 2020. Three similar pieces were streetpainted onsite using chalk.
Corporate project for Aavrani cosmetics in New York City East Village in Fall of 2020. This was a painted 3D anamorphic mural.
A chalk mural highlighting current Aavrani product line drawn in 2D to compliment the main 3D ground mural.
Posing with finished chalk piece as part of a morning tv spot at PIX11 in midtown Manhattan to call attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
3D anamorphic piece chalk on pavement for BD Provisions in Newtown, Connecticut. Piece created in November 2020.
'Spaced Out' Second 'Lockdown' Virtual Festival in Fall 2020, United Kingdom and Houston Space Center USA. Our 3D interactive piece 'Artemis' was a homage to the USA return to the Moon in 2024 and a woman will lead the way. Earth is at the top right, the mission symbol for the Artemis Program is at the top left of the piece. A small red/orange Mars is seen in the astronaut's visor indicating humankind's next step forward in space exploration. 3D painted mural is five by eleven feet in size done indoors on canvas.
Corporate project for Skyview Shopping Mall in Flushing, Queens in New York City as part of a contracted artist group to paint plywood boarded up windows during the spring of 2020. We were very happy to bring art and support during the pause here.
Social Activism through Art
'Everyday Heroes...' Lockdown Virtual Festival in United Kingdom. This illusionary designed piece calls attention to the social and political issues present in the USA such as the economic crash for working people, the political divide between Trumpism and Progressives, and the hope shown by the sunflower for a better situation domestically and the world at large.
'We Hold These Truths to Be Self Evident...' This sketch came out of the dramatic social events for racial equality and justice starting with George Floyd and culminating with the brazen assaults on peaceful protesters in front of the White House on June 1st, 2020.
'COVID Atlas' A sketch depicting the statue of Atlas bearing the world upon his shoulders in front of Rockefeller Center in New York City in early spring of 2020 during the statewide pause. Many sketches were done at this time mainly to express concern for the dramatic changes in our city, Nation, and world.
'VOTE FOR YOUR LIFE' A corporate project for a national campaign to get younger people to vote in the 2020 Presidential Elections by MTV Networks where Art for After Hours created a series of chalk street paintings across Manhattan in New York City. We chose to present our art works as inspired by noted 20th Century Pop Artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Piet Mondrian, Robert Indiana, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring.
Zoom discussion with art students about my company and artist career including earlier social activist pieces such as "Here but Not Here...', 'Respect Existence...' and 'Martian Dreamer'. The December 2020 discussion was moderated by Braincraft Art Academy in Bahrain with students from there, India, and Sri Lanka.
2020 has been a year most of the world wishes didn't happen or have to be, unfortunately it was with many events from tumultuous to the horror from the pandemic; yet we are here and we sincerely hope the world will eventually overcome this. We at Art for After Hours look forward to doing what we can in our art, creativity, and spirit.

Happy to let my viewers know that my first piece for 2020 is completed, installed, and on public display at Berkeley College in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
Take a look and enjoy!
View from the patio area - The mural is designed with a 3D effect in which the illusion goes into the wall surface.

Here I am posing for purposes of scale. The completed 3D mural measuring 12 feet high by 20 feet long. This was a fun first piece for the year and look forward to more 3D murals across the tri state area (New York City and State, New Jersey, Connecticut) and others across the US in 2020!

This year Art for After Hours created a special public art piece designed to specifically call attention to the children of people seeking asylum in the United States.
We have personally and socially found the specific treatment of the children being separated from the parents and families especially horrific and a shame upon the United States similar to the Interments of Japanese, Italian, and German Americans in camps during the Second World War.
#Respect #Resist #Remember

Original sketch of ‘Respect Existence’ by Anthony Cappetto of Art for After Hours.
Artists Anthony Cappetto and Wendy Stum facing with the drawn children in solidarity.
Above in the work, one sees the four children detained on a metal bench facing the US Flag, upside down, indicating distress. Each child is holding part of a mylar blanket issued to keep them warm, draped over a landscape at the Rio Grande between Mexico and the United States separated from freedom by prison bars.
Beyond the prison bars is a Trump Wall free world with freedom and fairness for all, typically the policy of our Nation of Immigrants.
#Respect #Resist #Remember

Prior to our live 3D street painting project, we were developing a 4D animated augmented reality component positioning animated children holding placards of #Respect and #Remember while an ICE guard was programmed to walk menacingly at the base of the art.
This was a moving piece for us and for the Baltimore community. Despite a weekend of inclement weather, sometimes part of live outdoor work; we were proud to share this artistic statement. #Respect #Remember
