Graffiti Class of 2018 Mural

This mural was painted by the Indianapolis Art Center’s Graffiti Mural Camp, and executed June 11-15, 2018. The camp was led by professional mural artists Matt Lawrence and James Quebbeman. The twelve students, ages 14-16, worked collaboratively on the mural. It includes lighthearted imagery and encouraging messages, as well as a message of peace and solidarity in response to the Noblesville school shooting in late May 2018.

Students involved include:  Halle Cole, Mary Cowdin, Kaya Edwards, Justin Gershman, Helen Hauser, Ana Kurek, Samantha Landreth, Cooper Rigney, Eve Swanson, Julia Sweet, Lillian Watness, and Kenley Williams.

Matt Lawrence is a member of Bridge Collective, a group of graffiti writers, musicians, muralists, poets, and street artists who work together and separately on projects of interest.

James Quebbeman is a member of the Urban Artist Network, whose mission is to make the arts accessible to people of all economic and educational backgrounds while promoting emerging urban artists.
