Fane Flaws, a real peoples artist, was only to happy to provide PRAC with this piece of art for the first freedom art project action.
In the photos above you can see one of the t shirts and printed Artwork, waiting to be signed and set free.
The Freedom Arts Project
The Freedom Arts Project, is to put it simply, a way to get good quality contemporary art into the poor communities.
The project works thus; we approach an artist, and ask them to create for us a piece of original art, using no more than three colours.
We then screenprint about 35 t shirts, on which we attach a swing tag with a short bio of the artist.
Using the same set of screens, we then screen print about 30 prints on nice art paper, the artist then signs and numbers the prints.
We then take the limited edition signed prints and the t shirts and hang them (at night) in bus stops, parks shopping centers etc, for people to take or do what ever they will do with it.
Before we leave the art hanging around, we contact the schools in the area, so that the teachers can give the kids a heads up.
All of this printing is undertaken at Black Robin Clothing, good comrades! Thanks guys.
The action of taking thousands of dollars of art work and setting it free into the community is a thing of rare beauty and a real act of love.
