Off the Grid x Bridgeport Gallery
Bridgeport CT: October – November 19, 2009
Off the Grid
The Gallery at Black Rock is proud to present Off the Grid a show featuring local graffiti and street artists. In keeping with The Gallery at Black Rock’s mission to bring art to everyone in Bridgeport, we have decided to produce a show that celebrates Street artists. Like it or not street artists are here amongst us and have survived and flourished in the withering economy.
Bridgeport has long had a street art culture under the radar of many. There are talented artists who prefer to share the work they do for free most of the time. The gallery is working with local artist to give a voice to these artists in a more appreciative environment, and to provide options for them to show work.
The shows will be hung in a visual assault style and will seek to speak to the environment that these artists often work in.
Off the Grid will feature the work of Equip, Sketch, Greg Brown, and Snook among others. Special thanks for curation assistance goes to Keith Rodgerson and Liz Squillace.
*** Bridgeport Folks Win a piece of original art from the show, Virtual Scavenger Hunt at Blackrockarts blog. How Many Bridgeport sights do you know??
Thursday November 5th from 6:30 pm until 9:00 pm The Artists will discuss graffiti culture, Graffiti code and techniques.
Following the discussion the artists will be available to customize your T shirt or any article of clothing you bring. Some T shirts will be available for sale at the Gallery The Artists will also do your name or sentiment graffiti style. Suitable for framing. This will make unique and beautiful gifts Custom work $25
