The first BOX SOCIAL went down on Saturday, October 5th & also doubled as my BORN DAY celebration! I turned 29 that year and it marked a few momentous milestones in my life that made the day extra special.
Located in a 4,600 sq ft gallery directly next to The Yost Theatre in Downtown Santa Ana, this was originally a ONE NIGHT ONLY show that featured work from artists, photographers and musicians from Santa Ana, along with their peers from LA, NY and D.C.
I was invited to help curate this event by my good friend and fellow artist Michael Ziobrowski, AKA X is the Weapon, and brought a few of my graff artist friends to come throw some pieces up. Because the first BOX SOCIAL was so successful, we were invited to do a second BOX SOCIAL, on Nov. 2nd, 2013 during Downtown Santa Ana's Art Walk & Santa Ana's annual Dia De Los Muertos festival.
This art show and art sale was artist driven, allowing all participants to break the mold and take total control of this large blank canvas. Guests experienced a variety of murals, installations, fine art, graff art, photography, film and music from some of the areas leading creative minds. Our goal was to bring the spotlight to Santa Ana and cultivate the imagination of the community.
I will throw up a few images here but the full collection of images from both shows can be found on my Facebook page.
