Over Thirty street artists have been brought together to help raise money for two small grass roots charities based in Africa. The boards that the artists painted during the Shambala Festival 2008 will be exhibited, along with donated pieces that will be sold through closed bids to the highest bidder.
All profits (with no administration charges) will go to:
Banunule School For Orphans, Kampala, Uganda.
Malawi Education Project, Malawi.
The exhibition has already been shown in London @ Cordy House, Curtain Road, Shoreditch, 18th - 21st September. The launch night on Thursday 17th September, 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 art with our love for music, 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 were the Shambala Art Boards, the Shambala Fort and the donated pieces on show at Cordy house, the artists in attendance also painted three flights of stairwells and the rooftop walls. Cyclops, Sweet Toof, Discreet and Newso did a fantastic collaboration. Zoot, Gastro and Mac 1 all got in there too. Newso didn’t fail to perform to the crowds, he painted a giant hand in front of 50 onlookers.
The exhibition moves to Birmingham from Friday 10th - Friday 17th October @ Wild Building, 104 - 108 Floodgate Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B5 5SJ, 10.30am - 6.30pm.
Launch night: Thursday 9th October, 7pm - 11pm - expect live art, afrika jam dj’s and more.
The launch night promises to be even better than the London show, if this is possible!
