These art projects in Newburgh have been sprouting all over the place this summer! Newburgh is part of the Inside Out Art Group Project, a global project of people standing up for their communities. The project was created by the TED2011 Prize winner JR, a semi-anonymous French street artist. It involves contributing a large-scale, participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work.
Portraits of participants have been printed at 3×4.5 feet and pasted on the side of a brick building at the corner of Broadway and Johnston in Newburgh. You can view more photos and information on the Newburgh Inside Out Fan Page
