In Dublin.It was supposed to be in the arthouse but that is being used for offices at the moment so we should have confirmation of a new venue early next week.its early stages at the mo but we want to have most details sorted in the next two weeks.

sponsorship can be for everything from free venue
to covering peoples travelling expenses.

why shouldn't all artists make some money from their work if they
can... and I don't think art is ever about confining yourself to one
medium or being restricted by what is expected generally expected from a medium.

See stencil type posters sold in red ink, similar in style to stuff you'd
see on the street.

just saying...

well any of the artists we have spoken too dont seem to have a problem.the event is free.we make nowt.all money from work sold goes directly to the artist.its about educating the public to fact that graffiti is an artform not vandalism.Graffiti artist are regularly paid to do commissions all over europe.Plenty of people have done work on canvas.Your not allowed spray the walls inside a gallery.....

You're not allowed spray the wall outside of galleries neither, but that doesn't seem to pose much of a problem to some.....

just trying to stir it up, jeez youse guys are boring.


in my head graffiing is what it is because of not being exhibited in art galleries and things.. the politics behind it, be it politically radical or gang tags or whatever..
i know it can be whatever you want really.. i suppose i just had it connected totally with something else as opposed to the stereotypical snootiness of art galleries and !kerching! ringing in the background.
and i think personally i'd like to keep it that way, even if it is just in my head.

true.any chance of making this a sticky because we need more artists from outside Dublin.

there is no kerching in the background here.the only person it financially benefits is the artist.It wont be in a gallery either,its just an exhibition in whatever free space we sort out.
