my girl erin

Erin Nuttall is a force to be reckoned with, as far as I'm concerned. If that woman wants something to happen, she will make it so.

Example? Erin busted her butt with Steve Wilson and The Graffiti Art Gallery (Winnipeg, Manitoba), to put together a summer Mural Festival.














Taking art to the streets in this way, both legitimizes public art in general and returns accessibility to art that is more than decoration. Often murals are (under)used to beautify and cover up the corroding urban fabric, but they have the potential to achieve so much more: challenge boundaries, stir controversy, criticize policy, uncover truth...

(you're incredible miss nuttall! love ya!)
