Hey all,
It's pretty exciting times for street art at the moment !
Unless you've had your head under a 'rock' for that last four weeks you would be well aware of the huge street art event on Cockatoo Island kicking off this weekend.
The OUTPOST project is positioned to showcase Australian street art on an international level like never before with the spot light firmly on Cockatoo Island and every artist involved for the entire 6 week period.
AND of course WESTSYDE is going to be there ! We are stoked to be setting up a pop-up store for the entire 6 weeks of OUTPOST. Our pop-up store will operate each weekend of the event which is when the organisers feel the majority of the expected 80,000 visitors to take a ferry ride out to the island.
The pop-up store will mirror the Westsyde store - SO we've built walls to display art on as well as retailing select clothing labels and skateboard hardware.
We are calling for artists who would like the opportunity to sell your artwork to a captured audience.
We suggest what will work are:
We want to offer visitors to OUTPOST the chance to walk away with an artwork that they can easily transport home and that doesn't break the bank.
So if your involved in OUTPOST already or NOT Westsyde would like to extend to you an opportunity to sell your artwork out on the island and involved in the largest street art festival in Australia.
Get back to us ASAP with some images of your work and then we can organise pick-up in the next few days.
If you live interstate or will have work available in the next couple of weeks please don't hesitate to hit us up as this is a 6 week festival and we will be topping up the display each week with new artists.
Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you and having a smashing time at OUTPOST !
The Westsyde Team.
