The 2010 Art + SoulFood festival is happening this Saturday, June 12th, from 2-6 pm. There will be an after-party at the North Star Bar. Here is a taste of the 2010 festival highlights (complete with handy bullet points):
- A meet and greet with Darryl McCray of “Cornbread” fame, a former Brewerytown resident dubbed the father of modern graffiti. Catch the trailer to his upcoming documentary “Cry of the City” by producer Sean McKnight setting the record straight on Cornbread.
- A recent mural installation by acclaimed muralist and street artist, Shepard Fairey. Shepard Fairey is most known for designing the iconic Obama poster during the 2008 presidential election, as well as the Obey/ Andre the Giant campaign.
- 20 area businesses and re purposed storefronts form an eclectic mix of art galleries highlighting mostly local talent. From the dry cleaners to the sneaker shop and even the sidewalks themselves the entire avenue becomes one enormous celebration of art. Couple that celebration with the delectable tastes of the some of the city’s best soul food restaurants and you get Art + SoulFood.
