Art Attack Project Local artists taking it to the streets! Art Attack is a grassroots event that gets folks out of the studio and into the streets.

By collectively making art in public, you get to meet fellow artists, share your creative process, and celebrate your local arts community. It's free to participate and all artists are welcome. Whether you're painting, drawing, sculpting, or whatever—if you can do your thing outside, we want you there! Founded by Bill Harris and Gabriel Pons in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Art Attack was originally conceived as a way to build solidarity amongst practicing artists. They recognized that whether you're just starting out or a seasoned veteran, it's always better to be connected to a broader community of creative minds. By occupying public space in an inclusive and constructive manner, Art Attack benefits not only the participants, but also the community at large. Ever since the original event in 2012, Art Attack has been hosted each September on the historic streets of downtown Fredericksburg. Over the years, other cities have also embraced the concept, adapting it to their local conditions and needs as necessary. Art Attack is flexible in structure and easy to host with minimal grassroots effort. By incorporating "audience participation" activities, it can also be a great event for youth outreach programs and educational institutions. If you're interested in bringing Art Attack to your own community, get in touch with us! We'll set you up with a free starter kit and help promote your event.
