Brought to you by Wondercafe.ca and First United Church, the Paint Your Faith project will be hitting the city of Vancouver with a 13' x 130' mural at 55-57 W. Hastings Street, across from the Woodwards Building. This time around, the four internationally acclaimed aerosol artists working as a collective to express their unique and unified interpretation of faith will be Faith47 from South Africa, Titi Freak from Brazil, Peeta from Italy and Vancouver's own Indigo.

For seven days, these artists will take a blank wall and turn it into their own personal canvas, creating a piece of art that will change the Vancouver landscape and open discourse for what faith, spirituality and art is really about.

chor boogie, titi freak, indigo, and the final days of Paint Your Faith

April 30th, 2010


Some of you asked to see pictures of Chor on the rooftop! Here are a couple. Plus shots of Titi Freak and Indigo at their show at the Ayden Gallery.

This is a short blurb and I’m sorry i haven’t responded to comments on the other blogs, we’ve been going at it hard… but I’ll get to responding this weekend as I unpack and filter through all that we’ve shot and experienced with this amazing crew of artists.

So in the final days of the Paint Your Faith mural, the artists worked hard in hail, rain and all kinds of weather, including finally sunshine on the last day. Chor Boogie climbed up 2 rooftop levels to get to the main steeple of the First United Mission at Hastings and Gore. Balancing on a couple ladders, he started painting his colour magic on that steeple that looks onto one of the busy intersections of DTES. Lots of people stopped by to watch him add some colour to this part of the DTES.  The rest of the crew finished up at the wall at Abbott and Hastings, in time for a press conference.

I’ll write a proper blog to fill you in on the other goings on in the next couple days. Peace.

Ann
