The HeArt Project Mission:
The HeArt Project creatively links overlooked teenagers in alternative high schools with professional artists, cultural centers, and communities to imagine, produce and present new work.  
The HeArt Project operates on a “conceptual ladder” philosophy, offering teenagers who have dropped out, been expelled, incarcerated, and/or are teen parents the opportunity to advance through three levels of programming – Arts Workshops and Public Presentations, After-School Residencies and Leadership Training, and Summer Scholarships.

CANCEPTUAL (v.3)

CANceptual [v.3]
"Recycle your spray cans...make some art...save the Earth"

Exhibit Dates: May 2nd thru May 31st
Opening Reception: May 2nd from 6pm to 9pm







Crewest saves the Earth one spray can at a time. For the past 7 years, Crewest has been at the forefront of recognizing graffiti art as a unique and valid art form with aerosol cans as one of it’s primary mediums. In support of the many artists who have chosen to use their talents for something positive, Crewest celebrates their 7th Year Anniversary and brings you the third installment of CANceptual. An art exhibition giving young artists an opportunity to showcase their work alongside known artists. Crewest encourages artists to find those old rusted cans and recycle them by turning them into fine art pieces for sale at the gallery.
As gallery director Man One puts it, “Where the weapon of choice becomes the instrument of beauty”
