Cleveland Public Art and Cleveland-area Scion dealerships present the sixth annual City Xpressionz Urban Art Festival. City Xpressionz recognizes hip-hop music, dance, graffiti art, and other underground art forms as the works that shape a city's artistic voice.   Transforming Ohio City's Market Square Park, City Xpressionz claims the street corner's blank canvas and creates art throughout the day.   By bringing art into a neighborhood, City Xpressionz turns the community into an art gallery.   City Xpressionz is free to watch.  

Aerosol Painting/Writing

Interested artists of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to paint a vinyl canvas during the event, which will also be eligible for a cash prize.   Participating artists must bring their own paint, caps, respirators, and other supplies.   Along with filling out the registration form, writers must pay a $10 fee for their canvas, which artists can keep after the festival.   Canvases will be made available on a first registered, first come, first served basis.
