ARGENTINA OR BUST, our first ARTMUSIC CLUSTERFUCK

This may be the event we’ve put most heart into. Rather, it certainly is. It’s happening October 13th and 14th. This mindblower is thrown to the cause of artist Maren Preson’s art-adventure to Buenos Aires, Argentina. If the event turns out to be as swell as we anticipate, the ARTMUSIC CLUSTERFUCK may be an idea to be repeated in the future. To art and all else that is healthily thought-altering.

Enjoy the awesome flyers. The first flyer was drawn by the hand of Maren Preston and then worked on digitally by Daniele Violi.

The second flyer was made by the awesome Sean Vranizan.

 

Here’s the weekend program:

MINDS WILL BE BLOWN ON OCTOBER 13TH =============THE PARTY=========== HARDWOOD STUDIOS is hosting an epic fundraiser on October 13th and 14th for artist Maren Preston’s art residency opportunity in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in March of 2013. We’re calling it ARGENTINA OR BUST, because we’re helping her get there with all our moral support (and some monetary support). $4-10 Donations will be accepted at the door, if you wish to support the cause of art and music be generous! We’ll still let you in if you’re broke (because we’re that cool and we know that you’re poor as well) just try to bring a couple bucks. =============THE GALLERY========== The gallery opens Saturday October 13th at noon till midnight and will also be open Sunday October 14th from noon till about 8pm. Art will be on display and some will be on SALE with proceeds to the artist. There will be prints, photos, paintings and other art by: Sean Vranizan: http://www.seanvranizan.com/ Elizabeth Hibbard Maren Preston: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marenpreston Daniele Violi Amanda Pence Hopkins Vivian Fu: http://vivian-fu.tumblr.com/ Katie Barretta: http://www.katiebarretta.com/ Emily Lalande Some stuff will be really cheap (like prints and t-shirts) so rack up the change from the couch and you’ll likely go home with something awesome. =======VIDEOART======= Some projections will be held throughout the day, by: Marina Fini Jeff Sleeper Ryan Tekulve ====THE MUMMIFIED CAT==== There will also be a MUMMIFIED CAT and a RACCOON UTERUS exhibit, SALVADOR DALI will be there in person, in all the glory of his late mustache phase, to assist in the mind blowing.
