Artist: Chaney Youngblood

Title: Beauty Out of Place

Location: Walnut and 8th

Statement: To me this piece of art shows the meaning of beautiful things standing out in the an unnatural place. The boxes represent that to me. Jus a utility box turned into art. In this it is a beautiful cherry blossom tree in the middle of space, and it can be whatever you choose it to be but in all it is beauty where it is not common. Something to stand out and show how amazing it is.

Bio: I am a 23 year old self taught artist. I may not understand what I am doing but I still try. I believe art is a sort of release for many people and it is for me.

I grew up and have lived in Muncie my whole life. So when I started seeing the boxes appear I thought the were so cool and such an amazing way to light up people’s lives. As my partner and I drive though town it inspires me more to want to put my work out there and light up others’ day like it does ours. And I hope call of the other artists have an amazing outlet when they are doing it.
