Old news is still good news

Took me awhile to get this scanned and posted, but here's an article about Wreckfest@Tiffany's that appeared in the Arlington Connection back in April. The author Greg Wyshynski quotes Arlington Arts Center Exhibits Director Jeffry Cudlin about the show:

No, graffiti in a gallery isn't groundbreaking or edgy and hasn't been for decades. But Philippa's stated goal isn't to shock; it's to make visual art accessible to audiences that it might not traditionally reach.

Exactly. I'd say we succeeded given the numbers of people who showed up at the closing party and given the amount of art we sold that night to both first-time art buyers and experienced collectors who'd never purchased graffiti art before.
