Warmup
“POW! WOW! Worcester just wrapped for the second year in Massachusetts, leaving behind a massive public art exhibition and giving the town something to talk about.
It's unusual to see 30 large-scale paintings concentrated on just a few sites, but Worcester made it happen, creating a dazzling community spectacle that went beyond the visual impact and built dialogue and friendships, breaking down boundaries between art and the local public, making it accessible to the people who are meant to enjoy and live with it.” -Kristin Farr, Juxtapoz
