FRESH PAINT ART SHOW SHOWCASES STREET INFLUENCED ART

On Friday, January 9, 2009, Fort Gondo will host the first annual Fresh Paint Art Show at 3151 Cherokee. The Schlafly sponsored event, will feature an eclectic collection of graffiti pieces, mixed media, digital works, design, and illustration from five local artists.

Fresh Paint runs from 7pm-10:30 pm. Music and refreshments will be provided.

Fresh Paint is the brainchild of artist, Kevin McCoy who often works with his wife Danielle. Hoping to shed light on street inspired works, he asked his fellow colleagues to participate in this show. "I thought it was time to give these artists a unique platform to display their medium to everyone. It is my hope that the Fresh Paint will help to remove the negative stigma this artform has received throughout the years. Graffiti isn't about destruction or defacing, but rather inspiration and expression."
