July 16: Show Us Your Thing at Gallows Gallery at VLAD the Retailer

HACK presents Show Us Your Thing, a two hour exhibition at Vlad the Retailer.

Where:  Gallows Gallery at Vlad the Retailer.

When:  Saturday, July 16 from 4-6pm.

Why:  Show Us Your Thing invites you to bring one drawing on paper of something you really like. It can be anything you really like. Really. Anything. Just draw it, get to VLAD the Retailer, hang it up and unwind with some really swell people. For space sake, let’s keep it no larger than 11”x14”, unframed. We’ll have push pins. You can tell us about your thing or simply let your thing speak for itself. You can spend 5 minutes on it or an eternity, we just wanna see that thing you love and how you draw it. Show us what you got, we don’t judge…

Anyone who can draw is welcome to take part in this special exhibition opportunity. If you can’t draw, pretend like you can ‘cause you might meet a friend who could one day save your life.

Vlad the Retailer is at 704 Heliotrope Drive, just north of Melrose. Arrive at 4:00pm so you can claim a good spot on the wall. Bring some food to share or be selfish and grab some ice cream at Scoops or a cup of joe from Cafecito Organico for yourself. Suggested $3 donation jug on-site to thank VLAD for his kindness and to help keep VLAD alive. Or better yet, buy something from him. He’ll like that.

This exhibition is presented by HACK (Hollywood Artists Critical Kollective).

Any questions? Just keep it to yourself, draw something and bring it to VLAD. Drawing is keen and HACK loves you already.

Show Us Your Thing.

H.A.C.K. #3 - Speed Crits at Happy

Hollywood Artists Critical Kollective:

Crit group next Saturday Oct. 9 at Happy (3:00pm). Anyone interested in being a victim? Let me know, I need two bodies to bring two works...Also, for Paper Trail artists I'm considering doing speed crits for anyone in the show who has work up. 5 min timed crits. Could be fun?

Give me your feedback.

Thanks! Paul

H.A.C.K. #2 Thanks!

Thanks to all who came out to Glendale today! It was a beautiful afternoon with a group of 15 or so thoughtful and intelligent artists and art lovers. Special thanks to Sophia Allison , Autumn Harrison and Li 'n Lee for giving us the opportunity to talk about their work. It was a great two hours of discussion.

If you've not seen the show, it's worth the hop, skip and jump over to Glendale. Here's a nice review:
