In September 2015, We Are This City hosted two community-driven events titled “ABQ BALLOON BLAST,” in which more than 70 youth and families participated. We invited community members to throw balloons filled with paint at a designated wall and 10 MDF panels in this celebratory exchange and art making event. The panels were then cut into 2×2’ sections and distributed, by invitation, to 75 local artists to add their creative flair.
The completed works were first exhibited in We Are This City’s pop-up show in Nob Hill, Albuquerque which 1,000+ people attended over two evenings in December 2015. They are currently being displayed in a Downtown Albuquerque gallery, where the art has been seen by an additional 2,500+ locals during private receptions.
We Are This City will be exhibiting these pieces at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco, CA on October 22nd from 7pm-2am. In this show, we will present 75 artworks by 75 champion artists from Albuquerque and the Albuquerque diaspora.
There will be music and drinks at the opening, too! It’s a party y’all!
Wake Self will be performing live and GALAXY will be on the 1’s and 2’s bringing the good vibes!
