Remember last October, when Rivington Street got transformed with a psychadelic paint job? Well this weekend some of New York’s top street artists take on Times Square in Lies 2006, a month-long gallery show at the chashama center gallery. We hoped this would mean the tourist spot would get a similar treatment that Rivington Street got. However, in this case there is no painting storefronts and fire escapes for a movie set, this is an actual gallery show.
The show will open and close with live painting sessions, though. The live painting will be on canvas and will be hosted by the Endless Love Crew, a popular street art collective based in New York City. The sessions will also be attended by dozens of artists from all over the region.
Live Painting in Times Square: Saturday March 4th & 25th // 1-6pm
Exhibit: March 4th—March 25th // Hours: By appointment // chashama center gallery [112 W. 44th St]
