From The Dispatch:
New Near East Side social event adopts hip urban attitude
By Kevin JoySeeking an art-focused nighttime alternative, graphic designer Marshall Shorts founded the monthly BRUSH in February. “In the black community, art is kind of a dying culture,” said Shorts, 25, of the East Side. “It’s my motive to help revive that.”
For $10 on the first Saturday of the month, patrons can sip a beer or glass of white wine, or sample live tunes or a disc jockey’s stylings. Perhaps most appealing, they can create art with their peers (small canvases, brushes and paint are distributed to guests).
The April gathering of BRUSH will take place from 8 to midnight tonight in the loft space above the Urban-Spirit Coffee Shop, 893 E. Long St. Admission is $10 for patrons 18 and older.
Good to hear more going on here. This quote just bowled me over.
“”A lot of people I know aren’t familiar with Gallery Hop — parts of the inner city and urban community,” he said. ”
I just have a hard time imagining a resident who hasn’t even come across gallery hop by accident.
There is also the Cover Me showo that go down on Thursday’s at Zanzibar in the same area of town. Good to see that area is stepping up the art support and awareness.
