Abnormal Artbeats Open Reception

So if you're an avid reader of this blog then you know that I'm a big proponent of the arts. Especially when it comes to the arts here in Dallas and even more so when it comes to the great local artists that this city has produced. This passed Saturday I had the pleasure of attending an open reception for Abnormal Artbeats curated by Adu. But this was not just any old regular art show. It was a multimedia experience of sensory overload.
There were art workshops held by some of Dallas' most talented artists, a giant mural that attendees could put their own artistic touch on, a DJ, live band, several visual art pieces as well as a film piece to be viewed by the audience. And if that wasn't enough there were food trucks outside as well! And it was all for a good cause as a portion of the profits of sold works were donated to Nancy J. Cochran Elementary School in Dallas, TX in support of their arts program. It was a great time for the entire family. It was truly something that had not been done before. Check out a few of the shots from the event itself.
