Newcomers VIA are hoping to make some printed items soon. What do they need to do that? Monday! Help them out: they only need a little over $2K and they almost have that money, too. You can catch a video they did for promotion after the jump!
Look here: apparently Brooklyn based artist Eddie Martinez is picking finalists for a contest with Saatchi. The winner will have work hung in their gallery and the runner up in the contest was Angeleno Kaloust Guedel. Exciting! See work from the finalists here.
Sunday from 12PM to 9PM at Highland’s STREET is a little art and food event that has Giant Robot, Never Press, and Space Camp visiting Susan Fenniger’s restaurant. It’ll be a yummy May 26 treat!
