Live To Change Something Through Art – Recap

November 21st, 2009,

Marked the second annual Coup d’etat Artshow. This year’s exhibit took place at the Skylight Gallery located at Restoration Plaza in Bedstuy, Brooklyn NY. The theme of the artshow was “Live To Change Something Through Art.”

The Show comprised of 28 total artists who all have one thing in common – they use their art to express their ideas of progressive change (socially, politically and personal.) The artwork crossed different mediums of art; from photography, fine art to street art and sculptures.

We are blessed and grateful that there were a bit over 450 attendees to the artshow, which have all expressed their appreciation for us bringing this type of art event to the community. We are equally proud that the community came out and showed interest their talented peers and community members. This goes to show that it is very possible to bring the arts to the ‘hood’. For the ‘hood’ has shown here that they appreciate creativity and artistic expression. Lets keep it going!

A Special Thanks to all the artists:
