September: #LPPMus and Works in Progress

Thank you for supporting limeSHIFT, so far. This month, we reflect on the Lincoln Park Patchwork Mural and Tahir's ability to balance his personal art practice and his role as limeSHIFT's Art Director - a balance we feel strongly about nuturing to ensure the creation of great art. We are excited to have you along on our journey as we continue to grow and take on projects at the intersection of business, community and art!

limeSHIFT speaks at City Spotlights Leadership Program

limeSHIFT brought its focus on connecting art to social, community, and organizational cultural values to 62 urban teen leaders at Boston's Schubert Theater this August. limeSHIFT co-Founder Aithan Shapira ignited 62 driven urban teens in the creative arts - creative thinkers, doers, and leaders of the future - for one of the culminating workshops of City Spotlights Leadership Program's 7-week summer employment program. The group unpacked what truly makes them leaders and talked about the entrepreneurial qualities they're already exhibiting by the big challenges they take on through their art.

A Conversation with Sam Durant

In the coming months, “The Meeting House” by artist Sam Durant, will host community gatherings to encourage dialogue, growth, and healing surrounding the issues that “The Meeting House” itself explores.  Reflective of limeSHIFT’s mission, “Using social practice art to shift communities and bring about empathy, healing and collective inspiration,” this project seemed fitting to look at through the lens of our own work.  Read the interview that Jesse Ryan, our communications ninja, conducted with the Los Angeles-based artist.
