As far as free art goes the It’s Yours, Take It events are one of the highlights. There is a lot of controversy in the street art community about street art in galleries but free art is a way that I think both artists and ‘art fags’ can both be happy. The beauty of street art is that it is free for everyone and anyone to look at but this is taken away when street artists move into expensive gallery spaces.
The It’s Yours, Take It events have taken place around the globe including the US, Isreal, Canada, Germany and many more countries with many already planned for 2009. The most recent event was in Northern Ireland - Belfast.
We previewed the Belfast event way back in August and I’m pleased to see it was a huge success. Organised by Dogtired, all the submitted art was gone in minutes.
Below are a few pictures of the event and some very happy people:
