NIKE RED x TIED TOGETHER x TOKYO

June 22nd, 2010 | By All Day

A vast amount of my art postings comes from Tokyo. The reason for is because I am a huge fan of the Japanese culture. I enjoy browsing the web and checking out what kind of activities are happening on the other side of the world. Which then, of course, I like sharing this information with you all on TheAREA. Furthermore, here is a glance at the opening of “Tied Together”, an exhibition in Tokyo, called RED, initiative by Nike. The event featured a great amount of artwork, dedicated to iconic Brazilian-Japanese footballer Marcus Tulio Tanaka along with several product releases, all falling in line with the (RED) campaign’s fight against AIDS.

The art of Todd James aka. Reas was the main focus at Bar Miami, as his artwork adorned the walls of Bar by OHWOW. Although it officially took place last month, we now have a closer look into the entire installation. Under this new program, the company’s Bar, simply named Bar, will feature contributing artists every 2 months, transforming the place into a unique experience. This inaugural installation looks to remain through April 2010.

“FIRST FRIDAYS” x DOWNTOWN PHOENIX

November 7th, 2009 | By All Day

So let me explain a little bit about “First Fridays”. Every first Friday evening of each month you can take a free self-guided tour of downtown Phoenix galleries, studios and art spaces.

First Friday is organized by Artlink, a nonprofit organization “…dedicated to bringing together artists, the public, and businesses for a greater understanding, appreciation, and promotion of the arts and the development of a strong and vital downtown Phoenix arts community.”

With that said, a couple of scholars and I decided to check this place out for a research paper we have to conduct describing cultural awareness. I had a great time, awesome experience. I will definitely be attending these events more often. Especially since they are held literally behind my apartment complex.
