TAGGED: A Street Art Exhibition
We invite you to attend, “TAGGED: A Street Art Exhibition.” Wednesday, July 26th is the 2017 UB Arts Alive! Summer Exhibition. Opening Reception for the fine arts show will start at 6:30pm in the Karshner Lounge, HSU (outside the KBR). It is an opportunity to bring artists together and promote the TRiO Upward Bound Community, consisting of artwork from current UB Student work as well as past UB Alumnae. The UB Student Gallery Committee titled this year’s show, “TAGGED.” Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned, and is executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. This art movement gained popularity during the ‘graffiti art boom’ of the early 80’s and continues to be a popular form of expression. Stencil graffiti, wheat pasted poster art or sticker art, and street installations are common forms of modern street art that the Upward Bound Students studied this summer. The Opening Reception will last from 6:30-7:30 and lead into the performing arts, improv, and musical performances by this year’s summer academy students; the live performances start around 7:30pm. HSU Upward Bound is a federally funded educational program and is one of a cluster of programs referred to as TRiO. This is the 53rd year of the TRiO Programs (1964-2017). The goal of Upward Bound is to provide high school students better opportunities for attending college.
