Tonight! From 7-10pm view the closing exhibit of one of Art from the Hive’s most successful and creative shows to date. Cody Lusby’s Mustachio Collection brings fun and affordable art for all. Sugar Cookie Couture will be selling fresh baked goods which were definitely a hit last month and the Paragraphs will be performing live behind the gallery. If you’re coming for the Kogi BBQ truck make sure to make it early, the line can be over an hour wait.
Stamping his iconic mustache across the land, LCAD Alumnus Cody Lusby (class of 2000) has evolved from his classically trained roots into Mustachio – a brush-wielding renegade who takes risks, fears nothing, and rides with no saddle.
Some say Mustachio is Cody’s alter ego. In fact, the stark contrast between the artist’s humble, soft-spoken nature and his in-your-face work is hard to miss. Mustachio’s latest endeavor, CrazyLand, is defined by talent, technique and a mélange of mixed media (think borrowed road signs), resulting in vibrant, controlled chaos.
CrazyLand makes its Orange County debut Saturday, September 19th at Art from the Hive. The exhibit’s opening will feature signature apparel, live music, a DJ and treats from the Mustachio Artistry Bakery. And since the 19th is September’s third Saturday, the entire community will be out and about celebrating the monthly Santiago Street Art Walk.
CrazyLand will be available for private viewing from September 21 through October 16. The October 17 Santiago Street Art Walk will mark its closing exhibition.
“An artist can, whenever he or she feels like it, take things to a new level. In fact, this urge to challenge themselves and push the creative envelope is often nagging away at their brain. The question is, will the artist choose to listen or not? Will they take the plunge? Will they risk failure? Will they take their art to the extreme…?”
On Saturday July 18, 2009 the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art will be hosting an opening reception at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, for the exhibition “LA to OC - emphasis:EXTREME”. This exhibit brings ten of the downtown Los Angeles art galleries to the OC to exhibit works of art from select artists. The galleries exhibiting are:
This exhibition, curated by Jeff T. Alu, brings together emerging, mid career and tenured artists with a common emphasis: each is committed to taking their art and creative process to a unique imaginative level. The artwork on display will range from kinetic sculpture to neoncreations, computer generated imagery to more traditional art forms.
The exhibition will run July 3rd - July 25th at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art.
Summertime at the Santiago Art District is always a great time and we are always promoting our gallery like crazy but this month we don’t want to be so self-serving. We want to highlight Curbside Gallery and Neue Transit Studioour favorite neighboring galleries. See below for details. Also swing by Art from the HIVE, we have new t-shirts and 20 new one-of-a-kind hats painted by artist Rene Cardona. Oh yeah and the infamous twittering 1-to-3 hour wait in line Kogi taco truck will be here too.
Ben Brough’s Press Release:
A nomadic, roaming upbringing aided in the development of California born, Big Island raised artist Ben Brough who is showing his work titled; “No Offense God, But You Made Me Wrong” on Saturday, June 20th at the Curbside Gallery in Santa Ana, CA. Brough’s style was molded over the course of a life spent bouncing between Southern California, Hawaii’s Big Island and Santa Cruz where his early influences including punk rock, corporate branding, and consumerism run amok. As an early contributer to the creative direction of the Orange County based Volcom Inc. Brough’s influence can be seen widely today throughout much of the action sports world, however the artists remains completely independent in thought and execution of his work. His new collages will be on display at Curbside Gallery promises to inspire the acceptance of changing the way we look and feel, both mentally and physically, through food, sex surgery and consumerism.
This show is not to be missed.
Also Aaron Kraten will be exhibiting at Nueu Transit Studio
Two artists and friends of ours from the Santiago Art District (Chris Bradley and Industry Giant) will be exhibiting at the lab in Costa Mesa at the Artery, Saturday June 27th from 6:30 to 10pm. Chris’s new band Big Take Over will be playing at the Board Stiff after party.
What a night! Thank you to all who attended and made the monthly Santiago Art District Art Walk the most successful yet! We also need to thank all of the new artists and bands that exhibited/performed throughout the district. After landing the front page of Yahoo and MSNBC news last week the Kogi BBQ taco truck was a sight to be seen with the line about 250 ”kojites” deep for 3 hours straight. They must have fed a thousand before they ran out of food at about 9:30pm. I wish I had the patience to wait it out, the smell coming from that truck was making me hungry to say the least. I heard many people that didn’t get food ran off to Lola Gaspar down the street to get their taco fix. The Wii-hodown-showdown went off without a hitch, with resident artist Justin Boatright taking the coveted trophy, (that is on display inside the AftH ART from the HIVE gallery) with a sneaky come from behind win! Who knows, maybe next month on June 20th we’ll all feel like rock stars….. we’ll see.
SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY! - MAY 16TH 2009 - 7pm to 10pm
As my lame high school prom was titled “A Night to be Remembered” this night actually will be one to remember. If you thought the Kogi taco truck that is coming was exciting or the live bands and DJs throughout the 20 or so art galleries in the Santiago Art District you must stop by ART from the HIVE to view the battle of the century.
BE THERE… Winner plays next in line, we will set it up tournament style and winners will leave with prizes.
