How would you like to be presented with a valuable, collectible work of art… FOR FREE!?
A few artists will set up and put on a show of the unique art style called “Spray Can Art”. They will produce 5×7 paintings at the rate of one painting every 3 to 5 minutes. Done on poster board with a spray can, the artist uses a strange array of tools to manipulate the paint. It’s a show in itself!
Joe is an accomplished New York City street artist who was struck by lightning while standing on his apartment roof. He taught himself to paint while recovering, and when he conquered the streets of NYC, he moved to Florida where he teamed up with three other artists who each have their own unique artistic style.
Joe and his trained artists are awesome to work with, they put on a great show, and at the end you will have a lifetime memento.
