Ben and the Dallas Urban Arts Festival
Current mood: artistic
Category: Art and Photography

Apologies to those who may have already gotten my bulletin about this:

I will be doing a LIVE Art thing (session? demonstration?) this weekend at the Dallas Urban Arts Festival. I'm on the Painters' Stage from 2:30-4:00 pm on Saturday. We should have a drum circle set up so we can get a good give-and-take vibe between me and the drummers. Should be a lot of fun!

Here's the festival's full press release, if you want more info:

IT'S LIVE…..IT'S HIP…..IT'S URBAN….IT'S HERE AGAIN!

The Urban Art's Festival is all about the energy, the passion and the raw talent that makes up Urban Art.

This year the UAF is joining forces with a phenomenal group- ArtLoveMagic.

ArtLoveMagic will kick off the festival on Friday night, September 7th, with a live art experience at South Side on Lamar and the Janette Kennedy Gallery, from 8 pm-Midnight. ArtLoveMagic events are celebrations of live creativity. Watch as paintings, jewelry and ceramics come to life. Enjoy live music and poetry all night long.
