9 Apr: Indigo in Stand Tall exhibit, Oakland

APRIL 9th - May 5th
Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery Presents "Stand Tall"
A conceptual exhibition featuring 20 of the North America's most innovative talents

Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery with curatorial support from Barrett Moore, has given simple but rigid parameters to the participating artists for this exhibition. Our hopes are to create,an all inclusive visually dynamic result. Spanning the country, and at the same time the stylistic confides of aerosol art; the plan was to keep the conceptual execution at the essence each decision. These artists span the country, and at the same time the stylistic confides of lowbrow art. Each selected for his or her individual efforts, this show will also find grace within the group's overall presentation. Standing Tall at 3ft x 9ft, each artist will be fully in control to install, hang and paint whatever they choose within this personal space. 10 of these columns will line each gallery wall independently. Around 10 o'clock The Chastities will be playing, the event is scheduled to last until about 11... which means it wont end till at least 12.
Photography from Scott La Rockwell so look swell... it's going to be a gala.

Four G's Magazine will be on site with the best Graff Magazine on the newsstands right now. Montana's will be supplying us with the paint needed to make this happen. Give thanks to Art Now SF for continued support and creative focus.
