SUMMARY:AL DIAZ: A Subterraneous Journal
DESCRIPTION:A Subterraneous Journal\, a collection of his current work\, was all completed during the months of the pandemic (2020-21). The linguistic play in Diaz’ work has always been about engaging the viewer to read and identify with the ideas in his writing. Dealing with “present-day life on this massively screwed-up planet of ours\,” the artist’s thought-provoking messages are intended to inspire action. The politically loaded social commentary and humor give his text-based work visual life. The virtual exhibition will be on view starting April 23rd.   \n			\n				\n										\n												\n							\n						\n						\n											\n\n					\nPrev\n1 of 1\nNext\n\n\n	\n					\n								\n					\n						\n															\n													\n					\n											In The Studio with Al Diaz\n																					\n									\n							\n				\n				\n\nPrev\n1 of 1\nNext\n\n				\n			\n			\nDiaz will also be painting a new mural on the theme of Spring at 246 Bowery. The public is invited to visit and watch his process on Tuesday\, April 20th.  \n \nDiaz\, a first-generation graffiti writer who is well-known for his collaboration with Jean-Michel Basquiat on SAMO©\, works in new formats for this exhibition. Banners\, canvases\, grids of ink-transfer-illustrated tile\, and shaped works suspended from the ceiling surround and immerse the audience in a large-scale\, visually stimulating narrative installation.  \nA three-dimensional journal\, this collection of works includes some of the artist’s most ambitious pieces to date. Most of the pieces are created using what Diaz calls a “constrained alphabet” comprised exclusively of reclaimed New York City Transit WET PAINT signage characters\, and subway-system icons. The work is presented in a variety of mixed media\, applications\, and scales while maintaining a visual theme. A large banner extending across one entire gallery wall reads: “After a prolonged period of isolation and confinement we became fearful and suspicious.” \n“I’ve been experimenting with what I refer to as my WET PAINT/Subway Letters series for 11 years now\,” says Diaz\, “and continue to enjoy sharing the surprisingly vast possibilities that can be produced with a restrained\, limited number of characters.” \nFor an in-depth article about Al’s life and artistic trajectory\, check out Al Diaz: 4 the Creatively Defiant. \nAbout Al Diaz \nAl Díaz’s creative career spans five decades. Of Puerto Rican descent\, he was raised in New York City and by age 15 was an influential first-generation subway graffiti artist known as “BOMB-ONE.” His friendship and artistic collaboration with high school classmate Jean-Michel Basquiat on the SAMO© graffiti writings—an avant-garde social critique—has been noted often in contemporary art history. Diaz’ contributions to the cultural renaissance of the East Village from that period also include musical percussion and performance art\, and have made him a key member of a celebrated artistic community that continues to influence and attract interest today. \nDiaz has been a featured panel speaker at The New School\, The Museum of the City of New York and The African American History Museum (Smithsonian). He appears in the documentaries Radiant Child\, Rage to Riches\, and Boom for Real\, films focusing on the life of Jean Michel Basquiat and the NYC music and art culture of the 1980s.  \nAl Diaz lives and works in Brooklyn\, New York. \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

SUMMARY:Al Diaz Virtual Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, May 30 at 3 PM\nWatch on Howlarts.org\nModerated by Luis Guzman \nWith Jose “Pepe” Flores\, Lee Quinones\, and Sandra Santana \nAlphabet City and the adjacent Lower East Side has historically been a working-class neighborhood for immigrants from across the world. “Loisaida”\, a nickname coined by a local Nuyorican poet Bimbo Rivas\, became an extension of Puerto Rico in NYC. Political activism lived alongside art and the neighborhood has been a breeding ground for artists\, musicians\, poets\, writers\, and cultural pride in Puerto Rican and Latino culture. \nJoin Al in conversation about growing up Latinx on the Lower East Side and the challenges of pursuing a life in art with music conservator\, dancer\, and well known Lower East Side personality\, Jose “Pepe” Flores; actor Luis Guzman; graffiti artist Lee Quinones; and poet Sandra Santana. \nVisit Howl TV: Conversations to watch a video of this panel discussion. \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

SUMMARY:#HowlAtHome Request for Proposals
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the creativity of our Howl community\, we are relaunching #HowlAtHome this fall and want to include your ideas for fun at-home creative activities as part of our #HowlAtHome series!  \nHowl Arts is now accepting proposals in any genre of art provided that the activity can be completed with easily accessible and inexpensive materials. Submissions will be reviewed and selected on an ongoing basis. Proposals should be submitted through the form HERE. You will be contacted via email by the Howl education director if your proposal is selected. \nOnce selected\, you and your lesson plan will be featured on Howl’s website with a short feature and bio. #HowlAtHome lesson plan activities are also shared across Howl’s social media platforms. Please check out the prior #HowlAtHome artists and activities for reference (See below). Activities are for all ages.  \n#HowlAtHome was launched in April 2020 to provide creative arts activities for people homebound due to the pandemic. Working on short\, fun activities not only stimulates the imagination\, it also serves as an important channel for creative expression of our thoughts and feelings and provide an outlet for the stresses of these difficult times. #HowlAtHome has presented lesson plans by artists from the Howl community which include\, Collage Portraits: Antony Zito\, Text Based Art: Al Diaz\, Self-Portrait Photography: Gail Thacker\, Spirit Animal T-Shirt: Scooter LaForge\, and Poster Art for Pride: Jorge Clar. \n \nSince its inception\, a wide variety of works have been created and submitted by individuals based in New York City\, across the US and even internationally. #HowlAtHome focuses on art projects utilizing easily accessible and inexpensive materials\, as well as activities that can be completed by individuals with various experience levels and abilities in art.  \n Grounded in a community arts education model\, #HowlAtHome focuses on the process of making—connecting to materials and encouraging free expression. While COVID-19 makes producing work in community with others more complicated\, shared principles of trying new methods and using our hands to produce projects meant to inspire joy can build connections to ourselves and others even when physically distanced. \nWe look forward to receiving your #HowlAtHome proposal!
