Arts Beyond the Canvas

Post date: Oct 10, 2012 6:29:29 PM

Arts Beyond the Canvas is designed to be a virtual tour of several artistic hot spots in which the art is not considered mainstream like canvas paintings or sculptures. Examples of these arts will include tattoo parlors, murals, and graffiti, especially along central and on UNM campus. The tour will focus on campus and the surrounding central area, which I consider to be rich in artistic potential. Another feature available to users will be the notebook, which will allow them to post pictures of their own artistic discoveries down the block or a world away. The notebook will also allow users to review tattoo artists or shops and perhaps even posts pictures of their latest work. I have already been in contact with several artists who are excited to have their shops in the tour and will gladly give a bio for their shop. I am also attempting to contact artists who are responsible for several of my favorite murals hoping to get a blurb about their work. The main goal of Arts beyond the Canvas is to introduce people to what they may not have considered art before and to give them the capability to interact with those involved in creating it.
