“I understand ‘home’ as a moving target woven by the power of experience and defined by ephemeral space…”🌱🌺📢 the incredibly talented Lauren YS /#squidlicker on their #mural “Finding Home” in a new #interview 📰 arrow.artaround.org/the-moving-tar… 📍#onthemap → map.artaround.org/art/finding-ho…

art as public utility, belonging to each of us, wherever we create or find it 🏗️✨ Nathaniel Donnett left behind some sculptural infrastructure — a cosmic altar on his way out of New Haven, after graduating last spring from @yale’s Painting program 📖 arrow.artaround.org/sculptural-inf…

It’s here!!! Today we are *beyond excited* to share that the new ArtAround map and website is finally ready! 🎉 🏠 artaround.org 🗺️ map.artaround.org #artaround #artmapping #publicart #streetart #graffiti #art #artwork #artshare #artpostor

📍where: neighborhoods, installation sites 🧑‍🎨 who: artist, figures, cultures represented 🖼️ what: styles, themes, content, colors 💡 how: functions, materials, commissions 🕰️ when: time of creation, length of existence 📰✨ mapart.us/SF-survey

In ArtAround’s first analytical publication, 534 #artworks documented across #SanFrancisco’s 7x7 square miles between June 2013 & May 2015 are compared across questions of where, who, what, how, and when. Download the San Francisco Survey here: mapart.us/SF-survey #publicart

A *very* brief look at how ArtAround has developed since it came online in 2010, as we anticipate the latest—and technically sustainable—iteration (important for an archive!) coming May 31✨ #artaround #publicart #graffiti #artmap #art #platform #webapp #mapping #ComingSoon

So, I’m Lindsey (/@lindseywriting) and I am ArtAround. I can’t walk past a #tag or a #mural without taking a photo, and I’m *so* excited to share the new ArtAround with you in a few weeks✨

It’s been hard for me to write as “ArtAround,” because I want everyone to see themselves in this project. But it’s taken 8 years of work and determination for a stable platform to finally be on the horizon.

More details to come in the next few months, but rest assured that the 2,000+ artworks #onthemap are being transitioned to the new platform, which will be responsive to mobile devices for easy uploading of new artworks on the go 📷🏃‍♂️👾

You might have noticed we’ve gone quiet since last year, and our website’s been down all winter... But we are very excited to share that we’ll be launching a new website *and* a new web-based platform this summer! #artaround
