ART BREAK!
 Art
Break! is an annual workshop and artist talk brought to you through
Graffiti Art Programming. Each year, selected participants are given the
opportunity to learn and collaborate
with an established and world renowned artist. This year’s feature artist is
none other than Hip Hop designer Cey Adams.
Adams has created logos,
tour merchandising, billboards, and advertising campaigns for some of the
most influential artists in rap music, including Beastie Boys, Run DMC,
Public Enemy, Redman, Jay-Z, DMX, De La Soul, Mary J Blige, Notorious B.I.G,
Faith Evans, Ice Cube, R Kelly, and LL Cool J.
Cey Adams has created a 2-day design workshop that covers a whole array of
art related topics, giving youth a solid base so they can progress to a
higher level in their chosen visual and graphic design career. New this
year, special art workshops with Cey will be held for youth aged 13-17 years
old!!

workshops are free to Point Douglas children, youth, and parents and require a
simple sign up on site. Workshops are facilitated by young, emerging Winnipeg
artists who use urban art themes to promote creativity, innovation, and problem
solving among participants.

hand at performance art with Michael, stitch up something wild with Anastasia,
or put your hip hop hat on with our resident hip hop heroes, Mike, Loa, Bob and
Nereo.
Graffiti Art Programming is also
currently accepting applications for the 2009/10 Urban Canvas Project Class. If
you are- or know of- an aboriginal artist between the ages of 18 and 28, we’d
like to meet them. The Urban Canvas Project is a 48 week program that
incorporates life skill, fine art, and commercial training tools into the lives
of young, urban artists. Visit the gallery to learn more about this exciting
opportunity!
