The Times They Are A-Changin'

police-front-flat.jpgGallery Dv8, the outdoor "guerrilla gallery" curated by former Mojo's owner Wade Beesley, strives to represent "raw, innovative artists whose works often don't get recognized or appreciated by traditional galleries." Every so often Beesley turns his backyard into a giant art party/exhibition with live music. This Sunday, DV8 holds court yet again, this time turning their focus to works of a more urgent matter. The exhibition is entitled "Caution: Police State -- Politically Inspired Art to Disturb & Enlighten":

Artists have been urged to search their psyches in order to vent their frustrations regarding our current, tumultuous political situations. There will be painting, sculpture, performance, live graffiti, live music, and of course libations.

Slated to exhibit their latest creations are Michael Schliefke, Nathan Jensen, Ana Rodriguez, Angel Ortega, Colin McIntyre, Nathan Nordstrom, Tim Scott, Ian Shultz, Lee Bolton, James Webb, Glenn Bryant Worley, Dustin Parker, Mike Parsons, Hope Perkins, David Atherton, Bart Berggren, JD Fanning, and Augustina Rodriguez.

NOTE: Owing to the possible rains that are supposed to hit us later this evening, they've moved the event to Sunday, from 1pm till dusk.
