As an artist that typically brought 3D art and technology solutions to our corporate, festival, and nonprofit clients to live events with crowds of people, like most businesses had to revisit the how to do this, but the why, and how to respond and grow to a new normal. This is the how, why, and grow Art for After hours did and will do in the new year ahead. All public work was done maintaining social distancing guidelines. Continue reading

This year Art for After Hours created a special public art piece designed to specifically call attention to the children of people seeking asylum in the United States. We have personally and socially found the specific treatment of the children being separated from the parents and families especially horrific and a shame upon the United States similar to the Interments of Japanese, Italian, and German Americans in camps during the Second World War. #Respect #Resist #Remember Continue reading

Happy 2018 Everyone! With a new year underway, we look back at the 2017 3D and 4D pieces by internationally recognized artist Anthony Cappetto created around the US and around the world. The art was fun to design, to create, and we look forward to more 3D art for our clients, returning and new. This was a fun year with the art experimenting with tying in animated augmented reality, conceptual ideas, sociopolitical messages, and interacting with our public in the US and abroad. A special thanks to Wendy Stum who assisted and collaborated with me on some of the pieces especially 'Freedom' and ' Refugee: Here but Not Here...'. Continue reading

‘Refugee’: Here, but Not Here… Anthony Cappetto with Wendy Stum In the spirit of the Sarasota Chalk Festival’s 2017 theme of Evanescence, we present the story of a refugee child. Amidst the rubble and desolation of a stop on her journey, she blows bubbles representing some of the nations with the most dramatic refugee crises. We selected South Sudan, Syria, and Myanmar (Burma). As a child, enjoying for the briefest of moments - a chance to be a child while sharing a message with the viewers. We hear and read about refugees’ plights, but our thoughts move past them as we put down the information and move on with our lives. They are ‘here, but not here’. Continue reading

We've had a summer (and early Fall), series of 3D street art that has taken us back and forth from UK, USA, and Europe, to express a timely statement, and back again to bring 3D chalk art as local entertainment in our home base here in New York City. Continue reading

Our 3D street art made a turn to a statement on the state of our Nation. We hope for the best and believe in the very best of the American People. Our 3D street art piece in Baltimore, MD was created and drawn for that purpose... 'Freedom' In the spirit of moral statements buried in the guise of still life’s in Europe in the 17th-18th centuries, we have designed this piece to make a statement on our current administration. From a base drawn in the interior samples from Trump Tower NYC Lobby, that is tacky brass, black marble, a bust of what I call the thoughtful (moral) person hovers. The bust is wrapped in 18k gold barbed wire, the left side of the bust has red, white, blue streams following the edge symbolizing America. The Freedom is expressed with bright butterflies escaping the barbed wire – free expression, the strength of the Constitution and American Principles victorious: free. Breaking free of oppressive thought and behavior this current administration is trying to impose upon the American People. Continue reading

Taking a minute to share a fun and rewarding experience Wendy and I had bringing street art to our community recently in Battery Park in New York City's Lower Manhattan area. We were invited to bring street painting to the Battery Park Community for their first annual Community Field Day in a twofold fashion; the first, a conceptual street art design on the concrete wall in a handball court while the second component was a large, winding, snake for the children in attendance to jump in to color to their heart's content.
