Get Up Get Down (GUGD) focuses on creating art through activism and activism through public art.

We explore a variety of art forms —from murals to street puppets, sidewalk art to gallery work— investigating issues that are relevant to youth and our communities. We've spent several years learning the tools of FIRE ARTS, incorporating metal work into our artistic creations. Join us and learn to speak your mind through public art

Check out the 3 murals GUGD members have created:

  • South wall of Food For Thought Books
  • West wall of the Amherst Cinema Center Building
  • Inside Amherst Regional High School next to the cafeteria
