. . . "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY". . .
MALCOLM X sought truth and action at all costs. He launched an uncompromising attack on society’s most firmly held injustices and proved, in doing so, the possibility of overcoming any obstacle to accomplish any goal. He is unparalleled as an icon for self-betterment and the serious cultivation of one’s identity and belief system.
A dedicated, gifted, and legendary organizer of people, Malcolm X always spoke to enlighten, to challenge and enrich the beliefs of even his most dedicated followers. He always moved forward, acting at every step to build his vision.
Any artist would do well to LIVE by these ideals. . .
An artist’s identity is always growing, outward and inward, into the future and back to the beginning. And at the beginning, we were KIDS. Free-spirited. No preconceived notions.
Kids love to create. We need to give them a chance to think about what art can be -using more than just conventional materials to express themselves ... "By Any Means Necessary".
All over the world, it’s important to recognize and encourage the independence of thought and capacity for free association all kids excel at. . . and we, as adults need to hold on to.
Brooklynite Gallery 334 Malcolm X Blvd. Brooklyn, New York 11233
When things don't go as planned and life gives you a 'lemon'-- WHAT DO YOU DO?
Not sure if the answers is the same for everyone, but for the crew at BROOKLYNITE GALLERY we take that 'lemon' and crush it into an art exhibition for the most impressionable, free thinking-minds, humankind has to offer. . . KIDS.
Announcing a call for submissions for a kids exhibition titled, "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY". OPENING May 16, 11am EST.
We know a lot of you have children who love to paint and draw. We also know that there have been many times you've looked at their work and thought to yourself--- that's pretty damn good! We'll now is your chance (and theirs) to show it.
We are joining together our local Brooklyn youth and the youth from YOUR neighborhood to showcase some great young talent in hopes of inspiring them to continue to use creative expression throughout their lives.
...And what better way to do that than to offer them money! If your child happens to sell their work at the exhibition they will get paid for it, minus a small portion that will go to a kids charity (TBA).
AS AN ADDED BONUS: SICKBOY MISS BUGS JOE BLACK DAIN PURE EVIL LUDO will submit one piece of work and allow kids to add their collaborative efforts to it--- Those pieces will be auctioned off and a portion of the proceeds will also go to charity.
So keep the kids home from school, crack open those poster paints, get out the crayons and force them to make a masterpiece Mommy and Daddy can brag about! --After all, it will be carried LIVE on BROOKLYNITE TV with a dope musical guest to accompany the show and LIVE kids graff.
