The show, called “The Interventionists,” is a collection of work by artists who “intervene” in public space.

All this material will be used to construct a giant wall of street art, with the work pasted, stuck and painted directly on the wall. NOTE: Because we will be piling the work of hundreds of artists onto the wall, some work will only be partially visible on the final product (just like in the street).
