Red Hot Arts Festival!

May 31st and June 1st is the weekend that the Red Hot Arts Festival comes to Stevens Square Park. Live music, live artwork, food, events, excitement! I went last year and had a blast.

This year, Matt Semke and myself are getting involved by having an art battle! Billy Vs Matt 9: Dinosuars Vs Cave Man. The art battle will take place live, as the onlooking crowd can vote on which artwork would win in a battle....the losing artwork will be chopped up with an axe, and no sooner than the losing work is destroy do Matt and myself sit down for the next round of Dinosaur Vs Cave Man. I will make a post with more details about it.

Check out the amazing list of artists that will be at this years art festival:

It's an impressive group, I personally urge everyone to check out Martha Iserman's amazing drawings, Matt Well's futuristic ink drawings to get a sampling of the talent that will be at Steven Square park.

Get involved!
