SKIN  - GROUP SHOW - North Bank member artists and invited guests

For June, North Bank member artists take as inspiration the word SKIN in all its different connotations. Young skin, old skin, human skin, animal skin, pudding skin, or the skin of your teeth, ANY way SKIN can be interpreted.

Mediums will be diverse and will include: paint, prints, photography, multi and mixed mediums, latex, ceramic and performance. In addition, a tattoo artist will be in attendance on First Friday,  as will a piercing performance artist.

This show should be equal parts beautiful and horrifying, traditional and radical, contemplative and in your face.

SKIN runs from June 3-29, 2010 with an artists reception and performances First Friday June 4, from 5-9pm.
