And finally...PICNIC PROPOSAL XV Bring Chris Dyers Positive Creations to Greensboro submitted by Anna Luisa Daigneault (aka Quilla) I would like to bring muralist and visionary artist Chris Dyer to Greensboro NC, to create a mural on a wall downtown. Known internationally for his unique blend of graffiti art and spiritually uplifting imagery, Chris Dyer’s art is intricate, colorful and explores multicultural themes. I would like to invite the artist to spend several days in Greensboro and create an awe-inspiring spray-painted mural that explores positive themes such as bridging differences, respecting other cultures, and promoting tolerance. This project would enliven the downtown core as well as provide local residents with a positive visual experience as they go about their daily lives. This mural will reinforce the notion of Creative Place-making because it would bring a tremendous burst of color to the local landscape. It might also enhance the perception of street art in Greensboro, and maybe inspire other young artists to be muralists, following in Dyer’s footsteps. In terms of its impact on the community, beautiful murals such as Dyer’s work have a profound effect on people’s experience walking around a city center. A mural has the power to become an artistic landmark, a reference point, a meeting place and a platform for discussing creativity and the role of art in society.
