Meisa Chase. Fright Train. Inquire if interested in this hand painted and framed original. 2011
Opening Reception: Sept 4, 6-9pm
"Skinned Knees and Other Stories," features works that in some way capture the colorful, kinetic energy, the diligence and gritted teeth, the skinned knees, bruises, blood, sweat and tears, and the shadowy underbelly of urban subculture and entertainment. Artworks can be made using the subject matter, styles, and even physical parts/materials of urban subcultures such as (but not limited to) skateboarding, tattoo, graffiti, roller derby, custom cars & bicycles, street performance, etc. Plus you will get a sneak peek at some of the artists' skate deck creations for next month's "Decked Out" Skate Deck Auction at The Bond of York to benefit Reid Menzer Skate Park.
The Opening Reception for the exhibit on First Friday Sept 4 from 6-9pm, as part of the Trunks & Trucks First Friday in Royal Square with bands, food trucks and more! Inside the gallery: In celebration of York City's Boutique Week, we will be hosting a trunk show for Paper and Plush, a collaborative creative endeavor by the very talented Em White and Ashley Boyer, while you enjoy craft beer tastings by The Beer Ace. Out in front of the gallery: You will find the charismatic Jim Hively and his hand silk-screened retro fashions and neato art, plus gain some insight with Liette Monic York's Urban Shaman. This event is free and open to the public!
