The launch night saw over 500 people through the doors. With buyers knowing that the exhibition was on for three days in London and then open in Birmingham for 7 days, we saw several large bids on the opening night.
Jibbering combined our love for music with our love for art, the Yabba Funk Sound System and The Mighty Jam Jah Sound were the perfect backdrop to Room 1, where the Shambala Art Boards were being exhibited.
Not only did we have the Shambala Art boards, the Shambala Fort and the donated pieces exhibited at Cordy house, the artists in attendance also painted three flights of stairwells and the rooftop walls.
Newso, Zoot and Sweet Toof all took to the stairwells.
Cyclops, Sweet Toof, Discreet and Newso did a massive collaboration.
Zoot, Gastro, Glenn Anderson, LL Brainwashed and Mac 1 all got in there too. Mac 1 produced yet another breathtaking piece and Newso didn’t fail to perform to the crowds, he painted a giant hand in front of 50 onlookers.
What a bank holiday weekend!
The Shambala Art Boards
@ Shambala Festival Thursday 21st – Monday 25th August.
Shambala is a truly unique and magical festival incorporating music, art, cabaret, kids, healing, crafts and campaigns.
Jibbering Art were hugely proud to arrange the Shambala Art Boards for the festival. Four huge triangular boards and canvas totalling over 1152sqft were erected outside The Dome Arena for the artists to work their magic on throughout the festival and they certainly did.
Showing creativity, fresh & cutting edge graffiti from some of the finest graf artists in the uk. Fluid, Gastro, Glenn Anderson, Junc, LL Brainwashed, Lucy McLauchlan, Mac1 (& Mac2, Mac’s son), Mark 2, Matt Watkins, Motorboy, Newso, Rowdy & Semor & Co & Sweet Toof all painted the boards in their own unique style. We were also delighted to have Faith 47 from South Africa to join us at the festival.
Not to forget Sickboy and his iconic temple, he had to battle rain, randomness and many, many questions from the general punters to make his temple a success. Pictures of his temple will appear shortly on this news page.
Mark 2 & Fluid working their magic.
