Young Blood exhibition at Kaleidoscope gallery
Roll up your sleeves and get involved in Sydney's newest exhibition of street art.
Overview
If you like your art edgy, then Kaleidoscope gallery's new show Young Blood is a must-see. A collaboration between well-known street art fixtures The Dirt (Jamie Preisz) and Bafcat (Mitchell Guerin), the exhibition will run over the Labour Day long weekend (4 - 6 October). New works by both artists will be on show in the gallery and will also spill out into the adjoining laneway.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a workshop where you'll get to hear The Dirt and Bafcat speak about their experiences as street artists and discuss technique, inspiration and how to develop a style that's distinctive and recognisable. Following the workshop, there will be live music while the pair create a mural on a nearby laneway wall. Workshop attendees can roll up their sleeves and join in.
While the exhibition is free, the workshop is a ticketed event. Concrete Playground readers get a hefty discount and can purchase tickets for $30 instead of the usual $50. Just enter the promo code 'youngblood' when you buy your tickets.
