Influx, In Flux -- Cre8tive YouTH*ink & The Centre-Fuge Public Art Project will collaborate to work with teens on a series of murals for the Ideas City Festival 2013 at The New Museum 

 Empowering, Encouraging, Creating, Educating, Reclaiming

Urban youth team up with artists Ray Smith, Sofia Maldonado, Sheryo & The Yok, ND'A, Claw Money, Cram Concepts, Yuri Velez and many other top artists from the Centre-Fuge Public Art Project to create a series of murals along First Street on the Lower East Side, May, 1-4, 2013

This project, Influx In Flux, will create a series of community-based murals pairing urban teens with neo-surrealist painter/scuptor Ray Smith; supermuralist Sofia Maldonado; internationally renowned Brooklyn-based street artists Sheryo & The Yok and ND’A; graffiti legend Claw Money; graphic designer extraordinaire & graffiti artist Cram Concepts; artist/musician Yuri Yelez and many more in the creation of public art along First Street on the Lower East Side.

 
Youth is a stage of life marked by uncertainty and challenge - a time of enormous potential, enthusiasm and energy. But, it is equally true that youth are apt to experience alienation, rolelessness, and restlessness, as they work through the transition into adulthood.
 
Cre8tive YouTH*ink engages an urban youth constituency, partnering teens up with working artists, and reviving the spirit of apprenticeship in the arts through the "Art School Without Walls."
 
Centre-fuge Public Art Project brings together communities that are being broken apart by congestion and blocked road-ways, acting as a catalyst for the future pursuit of creativity, making art available to an under-engaged urban populace.
 
By integrating contemporary art with aspects of community, social justice and the reclamation of surplus space, this project gives youth a voice and a place to comment on the invisible forces that shape their lives. With arts programs dwindling, engaging restless youth in an art school without walls, reawakens and encourages a new generation of art makers.
 
Engaging youth in transforming transitional spaces, not only inspires an upcycled mentality but also reaffirms that there exist endless possibilities surrounding us that are a rich source of untapped capital.
