We recently visited a fantastic show on the roof of New Design High School. The school's third annual Rooftop Legends show included graffiti artists from around the world and resulted in an array of fabulous art on the walls all around the roof top. The school integrates different forms of design into a high school curriculum and uses graffiti art as one way to engage students. We were able to catch some of the artists in action and spoke with students Channel Warner and Sierra Williams about the show.
The Rooftop Legends show is curated by NDHS Dean, Jesse Pais (a former graffiti artist), and is more important than ever as the charter school tries to raise funds for student programs after facing budget cuts three years in a row. Some of the artists featured include: Vins, Dezo, Tatu, Klass, Page, Keo, Cycle, Bounce, El Coro, and Doc TC5. Music from DJ enuff and "Rockin' It" by The Fearless Four (we had to go old school) .
