NEXT GYPSY ART SHOW: WEDS JULY 25th, 2012.

The Runoff Art Show! w/ Drew Swinson

The urge to create is so greatly encompassing it often seeps its way into everything we do, sometimes even unexpectedly so. As an artist, you can't help but notice the beauty in everything, even when it takes the form of what might seem to others as an unintentional mess. The runoff art show is about the process through which we create, and that which often comes as a result of our methods; to create art encompassing not only the intended surface, but that in proximity to our process. It embraces the simplicity of that which is an enjoyable view on the process and natural expression of the artist. It is the expression of surrealist automatism in its purest form. Come be a part of this event July 25, 2012

For info on Antioquia: http://www.antioquia-band.​net/pages/home.html

"Birthed in Colombia and bred in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland-based Antioquia makes music that inspires raucous dancing and deep listening. With influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra to AfroColombian songstress Toto La Mompasina and traditional music from West Africa, Antioquia’s primary mission is to unite humans in the healing act of dance. Their earnest let-it-all-hang-out stage presence encourages the same from the audience, creating a feedback loop that builds momentum as standers-by are sucked into the dance floor....

Peppered with fits of improvisation, bouts of silliness and fiery percussion pieces performed amidst the crowd, an Antioquia set is high energy, captivating, and anything but predictable. You can count on each show to bring the audience closer to the stage and closer together."

THE GYPSY WALL MURAL
created by the Brendan Palmer w/ help from Owen Beckmann

If you have driven by the Juggling Gypsy, you may have noticed some serious artistic activity on the side wall. The Gypsy Mural project...Yes, it's an unusual space to create such a labor-intensive, large-scale painting, but it's fantastic...and we're not just saying that because it's on our building. Come see for yourself. Facing the Gypsy from the street, its the back right wall. Measuring 16' x a whopping 55', done in a graffiti/urban art style. Brendan Palmer is an amazing artist to work with, and we highly suggest utilizing his innate abilities in your upcoming projects. Check out some more work from the artist HERE
