This weekend we were part of Grove Alley Paint Nite, hosted by Downtown Brooklyn. It was a night filled with delicious food, great music, awesome people and amazing art!
We prepped for the event by painting a base mural the day before the event. We created a mural of a huge spray can blasting out bright, beautiful colors. The night of the event, all the crowd got to become stencil graffiti artists, adding our Stencil1 imagery to the mural, appearing to spray out of the spray can as well! Our goal was to paint a mural that everyone could be a part of. This was the first of an interactive D.I.Y mural series we have been working on, designed with the goal to create one final image as a group.
The overall goal is to create community, perpetuate creativity and overall happiness! Look out for more Stencil1 group murals in the future!
We were so happy to see how excited everyone was about stenciling together. We had artists of all ages contribute to the mural. You guys painted in groups, by yourselves and even sitting on each other! We all had a blast and wanted to keep stenciling all night!
Everyone who stopped by our table got to pick a stencil and paint it on their favorite spot on the wall! From the design and color of the paint to the spot on the wall you guys made all of the decisions and created a mural that rocks!
This event brought out the artist in everyone. It was the perfect way to celebrate art and creativity. We want to host many more events like this in the future and are excited to share them with you! Check out more information about Grove Alley here.
