In Conversation with Street Artist Leon Keer

Acclaimed street artist Leon Keer will discuss his work and his newest mural project for the City of Fayetteville.

"Every street art piece is unique and belongs to the street and its residents, the temporary fact about this artform strengthens its existence." ~ Leon Keer

Street art origins rest on the foundations of underground movements but have evolved with time into a highly respected art form. Street art, by design, is big and eye catching and meant to both beautify and spark community dialogue.

Join us for a conversation with Leon Keer, a world leading artist in anamorphic street art, and KUAF's Matthew Moore, to explore Keer's newest mural project with the City of Fayetteville that will be located at the Fayetteville Public Library's West Avenue Parking Deck. The mural will bring Keer’s signature whimsy to Fayetteville, featuring playful toy cars rendered in 3D style to activate childhood nostalgia and spark new perspectives. Designed to be interactive and photo-friendly, the piece will invite viewers to engage with the artwork.
