Young Blood exhibition at Kaleidoscope gallery

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.
