In the Public Realm is a Public Art Fund program designed to champion innovative public art projects by New York State-based emerging artists. Artists selected will develop proposals, consult with Public Art Fund to shape their projects, and ultimately realize their work in one of New York City's five boroughs. Artists are encouraged to submit an application that considers how to translate his or her specific studio practice and interests into a new public artwork. Previous experience working in public spaces is not necessary.
The Philadelphia-based Leeway Foundation supports women and transgender artists who create social change. Leeway’s fall exhibition, Intertwined, will be at the foundation’s office at 1315 Walnut Street in Center City. The exhibit features works by five artists—all of whom are previous recipients of Leeway grant and award programs—includes quilts, textiles, installation, and apparel.

Heavybubble has released a new design called concrete.
Our new design sports a very light neutral gray background. We've added a thin white border around the images to help keep the color saturation from being dulled where it meets the background.
Centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Basquiat over twenty years ago, this definitive documentary chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist. In the crime-ridden NYC of the 1970s, he covers the city with the graffiti tag SAMO.
The rest is history.
