On last month I had the opportunity to visit a really cool and yes mobile art gallery housed in several empty storefront spaces in the Pabst Brewery Development Site near 10th & Highland.
Funky art exhibits with music, energetic young artist and bewilder older folks like myself created an eastside vibe.
I met with one of the creators of this event and founders of the Parachute Project, Makeal Fammini to discuss this event and the possibility of the SOHI District getting a Parachute project on 27th Street. Check out the video on YouTube.
Makeal was very much excited about the possibility of a partnership. It is the goal of her organization to have 3 more mobile exhibits this summer. Hopefully, the SOHI District is next.
The coolest part about the Parachute project was the diversity of art on exhibit. From poetry reading to music and video. All the artist were really accessible and friendly and there were plenty of people.
I look forward to working with Makeal to bring this to the SOHI District, maybe even a partnership with one of our local neighorhood groups like HCNI for the home tour?
