Tonight in London, ON: Art Fusion at Citiplaza

If you aren't familiar with Artfusion, here's the deal.  Our good pal Ryan, who we've been painting and creating with for a lot of years took his literal obsession with graffiti and art in general and started a monthly show at a small restaurant in London a couple years ago.  He's featured artists and musicians from around London and worked with businesses to help get this thing going.

Cut to two or so years later, and the dude shows hundreds of artists, works with a ton of local businesses and charities, and basically hooks people up with support and exposure all over the place.  The guy is pretty amazing, really.  He also now has a really dope team of staff that help him get shit done, and he even has a permanent gallery in Citiplaza, right downtown.

Starting at 5pm tonight and going all night, there's gonna be art for every taste and every budget, plus music from a nice variety of talents, and refreshments and treats.  This is the definition of supporting local, so let's make sure we all do that.  Here's all the info:

Artfusion @ CNTRL

Yesterday we joined Ryan Mahy, the founder of Artfusion as he embarked on a new and unique project.  Live art, performed, created, as part of London, Ontario's stop on the CNTRL tour.

CNTRL is tour combining seminars and live shows by dj's Ean Golden, Victor Calderone, Loco Dice, and Richie Hawtin.

 

The legendary dj's have a unique approach to this tour, and Artfusion's installation added a creative element.

Over the course of the day, and the amazing sets at night we got over a hundred photos and a select few videos of the transformation of this painting.  Check out more on Artfusion.

Art Attack: The Movie

Artfusion takes to the streets late at night to do one massive piece in downtown London.  Amazing.

Artfusion: The Guidelines

Ladies and gentlemen, we are excited to tell you about an incredible event that a few of our very talented friends have been working very hard at.  The Artfusion Fest Block Party takes place Saturday (March 31st) and Sunday (April 1st) in downtown London, Ontario.  It showcases countless musicians and artists, joining together to create a mural and make history in the process.

Saturday night the afterparty is at the APK Live and features headliners Aceyalone and Riddlore and a score of incredible local talent as well, covering all genres.  Tickets are $15 in advance, and are selling fast!

For those unfamiliar with these legendary, freestyling mc's hailing from the Goodlife, Project Blowed, and ultimately shaping west coast underground hip hop, we have just the thing.  We've been working with Artfusion and yahohyah to bring you a dj mix to introduce you to Aceyalone and Riddlore, if you've never heard of them before OR to help get you ready for this weekend.
