VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC
This month, 1515 Broadway is hosting Art Out Loud. The exhibit is a collection of twenty Gibson Les Pauls, created in collaboration with visual and musical artists for the 20th anniversary of VH1 Save The Music. This fall, the instruments will be auctioned off to raise funds for music education. We’ll be bringing you close-ups of some of the instruments all week, so stay tuned!
AROUND TOWN
Spotted in our midtown neighborhood: the 45-foot “Seated Ballerina,” an installation by artist Jeff Koons. The inflated sculpture towers over Rockefeller Plaza, raising awareness for National Missing Children’s Month. It will be up until June 2, presented in collaboration with Kiehl’s and the Art Production Fund.
WE LIKE
We Like: the work of California artist Kristin Farr, pictured here completing a mural. About her process, she says: “I draw the lines of the diamond shapes with a ruler, beginning with a star formation, and then I build the rest of the design spontaneously, filling in colors randomly, so it's always a surprise in the end. It looks like a pattern but it doesn't repeat.” See more from Kristin here.
