I SEE YOU

Two Keys Photo (Karen & Steve Jackson), in their own words, “We use real world locations and props to create backdrops into surreal worlds that produce both negative and positive emotional reactions for viewers. Some images are quiet while others almost create a frenzy for the observer.”

SCENE BUILDERS

Art for the People has constructed Scene Builders that involve artists whose artworks are created on or in buildings and on bodies. Scene Builders are our artists who see a blank space and create & design the area to tell a story. We have North Fabrication whose motto is “Design-Create-Innovate”, ATx Muralists who create ever changing artwork on different surfaces and ATx Tattoo Artists who create their art generated from people’s memories & stories of their life. Local & Fabulous!

Featuring: Avery O, Brooke Estep-Pollock, Cody Blazek, Daddy Otis, Drib the Bird, Emily Ding, Hanz Zaraté, Helena Martin, Jacob LaPan, Jason Jones, JJ Muzacz, Kimie Flores, Liza Fishbone, Lurissu, Mila Sketch, Miles Starkey, Nate Pollock, North Fabrication and Stellar Roz.
