Introduction

A few months ago Brian Kaminski wanted to throw an art show ready for the summer time. He had called me for input and I ran on a tangent for twenty minutes on where shows went wrong in the past, where they went right, and how he should do it. It fell silent for a while as we both found ourselves busy and defeated by the lack of space on LI that would be minimally inexpensive. After a recent string of art shows at the Greenpoint Gallery in Greenpoint, BKLYN I found myself talking to the owner of the gallery, both of us after a few drinks, about doing a show. As of yesterday, May 18th, after hearing mine and Brians ideas we came to an agreement on a date for the show.

On July 23rd in Brooklyn, NY, The Greenpoint Gallery will be holding the first annual....uh....ah, fuck, there are going to be a whole bunch of artists from all over the Nassau/Suffolk area showcasing their talents and creations, Jaylord on the ones and twos spinning a whoooole bunch of hip hop, hardcore, and more than likely 4 minute mile start to finish in its entirety, Danielle Brando of Mr. Beerys/Road Rummers/what the fuck happened to my pants, wallet, shoes, car, and favorite DIGNITY/fame (or infamy, depending on how you want to look at it) running the concession stand, and a collaboration corner lined with some sweet paper, open to any and all attendees to hang out and draw on.

The best thing you can do right now is just keep an eye on the blog for updates; The definates areas follows:

-7pm til whenever
-keep it classy (guys collards and ties, girls dressy attire)
-artists will have to pay a small fee per piece entered (5 bucks maximum with a two piece minimum)
-all submissions will be taken care of as soon as possible, the list of confirmed artists is already at about a dozen, with about 15 still left to confirm or ask in the first place.
-pieces must be recieved by brian or myself by july 10th. out of towners, ship by the 6th of july.
-show must be taken down 3 days after the opening, so keep an open schedule if you have a large piece submitted because you will be responsible for that. this is the gallery being specific, so please respect this rule.
-OPEN MEDIUM; sculpture, photography, painting, illustration, drawing, installation, etc. so dont be afraid to go all out.

keep an open mind and get crackin!

thanks, this is going to be big.
