Openings June 4th: Black Light Art Experiment and JoKa's Solo Show

Two very interesting shows open this weekend. The first is the UV Urban Black Light Art Experiment where artists have all painted works with fluorescent paints that react to black lights featuring works from Peter Krsko, Mike Ciccotello, Joe Iurato, Josl, Luv 1, Aja Washington, Jim Hancocks and PaperMonster. I created several pieces for this and I don't even know how they will look like so I am super excited to see the entire collection. For more info check the flyer below. The second show you should catch is a solo show by JoKa where he has created a series of portraits slightly larger than a penny all created using toothpicks as a brush! You have to see it to believe the detail in these small miniatures. Check out more details below:
