Kuszyk has this advice for our burgeoning arts district: "Make a bunch of shit. Make stuff! Don't
be hindered by the lack of commercial success. There are all these creative minded people. Be as
diligent as possible if you're trying to create an environment more conducive to public art, studio
art, and creativity." Kusyzk has been painting walls in different areas for a while now, making
boring buildings into beautiful art pieces that people want to come out and see. It is a great way
to bring business into an area and make it lively.
Hailed by The New York Times as, a cultural center of note, Norfolk takes center stage
with exceptional museum collections, critically acclaimed resident performing arts companies
and spectacular annual cultural events. Norfolk has become the cultural capital of the
Commonwealth, bringing this city by the sea recognition on the national and international
cultural scene. While Norfolk may be known for its art museums, it is slowly being recognized
for graffiti style art. Kuszyks unique style brings the run-down buildings to life. This art brings
life to the streets that so many residents walk down every day. Eventually, tourists who have
heard of this beautiful art, will want to experience this walk, bringing good business into the area
as well. This graffiti style art has upset some people who view it as a sign of poverty but that is
not the case at all. This art is here to make people feel something. The vibrant colors that Kuszyk
uses inspires happiness which is just what the streets of Norfolk, Va need. Nick Kuszyk should
inspire other artists to paint positive messages in the streets of Norfolk, only where they are
allowed to do so, of course.
