This past Thursday was the opening party for the Post-Graffiti show on the 3rd and 4th floors of the Gladstone Hotel.  The show runs until Sunday, November 20th.  It is open daily from 12-5 and admittance is free.


"Post-Graffiti examines the evolution of street artists to iconic image-makers. Special guest curator, Simon Cole, director of Show and Tell Gallery in collaboration with Britt Welter-Nolan present survey of local and international fine artists whose artwork has evolved from working in the streets, riffing off of advertisements, playing with political iconography and challenging cultural and artistic norms. This exhibition examines a collection of artworks that engage a populist language of iconography that play with our collective memory and reflect on ideas of globalization, war, consumerism and a desire for hope in the Global Village. Featuring works by Shepard Fairey, Anthony Lister, Banksy, Retna, Dolk, Dan Bergeron, and more!"


The show is part of the McLuhan 100 Conference and the DEW Line Festival.
