Operation: Storefront Art Wrap Party

Operation: Storefront Art Wrap Party was a success!

This past Sunday, May 31st, 2015, the Art Squad's Operation: Storefront Art came to a close at Firefly Hollow Brewing, 139 Center Street. Individuals of all ages joined us to admire the All Heart pieces donated by each participating artist in Operation Storefront Art, check out the first original Bristol Art Squad T-Shirts printed locally by Ransom Ink, enjoy a refreshing locally brewed beer, and join the All Heart revolution!

Operation: Storefront Art was a project launched by the Art Squad in partnership with the Bristol Chamber of Commerce and talented artists to showcase the new All Heart culture of Bristol, beautify vacant storefronts and provide a chance to win an All Heart piece of artwork that embodied the artist’s interpretation of what All Heart in the community means to them. While the pieces were on display in vacant buildings around Bristol, and Firefly prior to the wrap up party, individuals were able to selfie with the All Heart pieces for a chance to win. Six lucky individuals won original pieces of artwork yesterday.

The lucky winners include: Ashley Frances Lodovico's Bristol Rising - The_Hunting_EMR (Instagram), Ginger Grant's Two Birds - Daniela Rivera (Facebook), Cat Boyce's Autumn in Bristol - Missy Mitchell (Twitter), Anna Mastropolo's Greatest Love - Bad Ablum (Instagram), James Gaffney's Filipino Pride - Kate Mae (Instagram), and Suzanne Godau's Tea Time - Dori Green (Facebook).

Here is the Art Squad rocking the brand new T-Shirts! Thanks to Ransom Ink for doing a spectacular job! Shirts are still available for $20. Contact any Art Sqaud member if you are interested.

Lisa loves her new All Heart watercolor piece by Ashley Frances Lodovico.

Daniela was so excited to win an original by fellow Art Squad member, Ginger Grant!

Dori won Suzanne's Tea Time All Heart piece. Perfect for the Artist Tea Tree House!

Thank you to everyone who made this event such a huge success, especially Firefly Hollow Brewing for displaying our artwork and hosting the Wrap Party. Thanks to everyone for their participation in our shirt raffle, selfie contest, and our closing Operation: Storefront Wrap Party. Big congratulations to all of the All Heart winners! Lets keep the All Heart revolution going!

Until next time!

Mission Statement:

 

The “All  Heart” culture of Bristol is inspiring the formation of community  action groups (heart squads) to share a piece of their heart & passion, of  which the Art Squad is one! 

 

We are a group of talented community artists who, like stealthy cultural ninjas, have joined forces to pepper the City with arts & culture and set the agenda on public arts projects.

 

 With  the  City  firmly  behind  a  marketing  strategy  that  values  arts  and  culture,  we  now  have  the  opportunity  to  create   visible  arts  projects  that  highlight  the  inherent  awesomeness  of  art,  but  also  stimulates  economic  development, elevating our beloved City of All Heart,

Bristol, Connecticut!
