This inspired him in 1987 to co-found the Uptown Multi-Cultural Art Center and has guided him over the years as the "Art of the T-shirt" summer exhibit series grew and evolved over a decade. In teaching screen printing to artists he has applied his art to t-shirts and patches. He moved to Rogers Park in December of 2007 and can be seen annually printing patches in the Glenwood Art Festival. Presently he is promoting the Free Speech Artists' Movement which is seeking 1000 artists to creatively force the city to give artists their full free speech rights to sell their expressions in the public way and to be seen in open air "art scenes" around Chicago. Discuss what are "artists FULL speech rights" on his blog at c-drew.com/blog or art-teez.org/free-speech.htm |
