City Kids Foundation Silver Anniversary Block Party
I am more than honored to be a part of the City Kids Foundation Silver Anniversary Block Party. This year, I will be creating a mural with 150 young people from the program, continuing the tradition Keith Haring started with the foundation in the 80s. The mural’s theme is “A Positive Thought Cannot Be Denied,” and the young people and I have collaborated on a vision that explores issues around teen violence, education, human rights and environmental sustainability.
If you are in the New York area, please join me and the City Kids, Sunday, May 2nd from 12-6 pm for the event. It will take place on Leonard Street, between Church and West Broadway in Lower Manhattan and should be a great day. There will also be music and performances; the City Kids are amazingly talented. Please support!

MAY DAY CALLING
Antonino D’Ambrosio, who has collaborated with Shepard before on Heartbeat and a Guitar and Let Fury have the Hour, was sent some first look images from Shepard’s upcoming MAY DAY exhibition. Antonino with his familiarity of Shepard’s musical and political background wrote a great and insightful piece about the artwork. Please click more to READ what Antonino had to say.
IN ADDITION, the D’Ambrosio piece will be featured on the back side of a MAY DAY FLAG poster that will be given away to the first 300 people who attend the MAY DAY opening on May 1st. The poster will be signed by Shepard.
