Last weekend I went to the most amazing place I have been to in awhile. It was a tiny art gallery wedged behind a huge dance studio. The gallery itself is perhaps the size of a classroom, but contains a beautiful array of different artists and paintings. Currently they are running an event called "Hello My Name Is", which is based on street art and graffiti painting. What they did was they gave all the artists a poster that was like a name tag and then the artist would represent themselves. The show runs through March 31st and has a panel discussion (which I know nothing about) on the 23rd.
The art work is absolutely incredible and it really shows a kind of art work that gets barely any attention. Plus on a corner down the street there is a bakery called the Spring Mill Bread company which sells fantastic brownies. So ya know...if the graffiti wasn't enough.
This is the gallery
