CURATION AND PRODUCTION OF RISE ABOVE, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL FESTIVAL ART PROGRAM 2013.
Rise Above, curated by Justkids is the street art program of Life is Beautiful Festival first edition that hit Down Town Las Vegas streets October 26th and 27th 2013. Its the largest street Art Festival in the US. For the entire week before and during the festival RISE ABOVE took 15 blocks of Down Town and turned it into an art-inspired playground, showcasing works in the cityscape. 20 artists including the biggest names in international street art were at all times actively engaged in the creation of gigantic murals, stencil, yarn installation and posters installation. RISE ABOVE is a revitalizing action that will redefine Down Town for the year to come and encourages a bond to one’s environment as an awareness of the creative potential of the community.
