Welcoming UNIQLO Grantee Artist, Musa Hixson, to STEEMPARK!

in #steempark7 years ago

Hey everyone! Exciting update, we're working closely with artist Musa Hixson (@musahixson) to incorporate Steemit in his practice and nonprofit, the Brooklyn Art Incubator. We have great ambitions to empower his great social-impact work with the power of this online community.

Here is his introductory post, stop by and welcome him to Steemit!

Musa most recently was granted a grant by UNIQLO to install his sculptural proposal “Conversation Sculpture” at the Herbert von King Park. The semi-permanent metal piece will be installed in late June around the same time we're aiming to kick-off STEEMPARK.



We've been having some very productive conversations on how to join forces and integrate his talents with our public programming. Community art workshops, Steemit tutorials, and many others are in the works. If you'd like to join the conversation, comment below!

love the metal piece!

I found @musahixson today, I didn't realise there was a link to this, cool.

Thanks for giving him some support! We're thrilled to have him on Steemit and hope he can use the platform for his nonprofit work and beyond. There's so much public artists can utilize here. More to come soon :)

Welcome, very nice!

Great to see and thank you for sharing.
