Fans of Os Gemeos' mural at Coney Island won't want to miss the unveiling of the Dreamland Artist Club project. Organized by Steve Powers (aka ESPO) and funded by Creative Time, Dreamland got 17 contemporary artists to make hand-crafted signs for Coney Island vendors and sites and 10 more to make prizes for game booths. Details:
Art Tours of the 40 + Dreamland Artworks. June 18 tours leave at 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, and 4:30 p.m. and then every Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. or by request throughout the summer from THE CLUBHOUSE (1206 Surf Ave.). Win artist designed prizes at participating arcade games. Opening Party @ Ruby's on the Boardwalk, 5:00-8:00 p.m. FREE TIGER BEER AND DOOR PRIZES!
The Dreamland website has previews of each artist's contribution. Details and directions. Thanks to A'yen and Hustler of Culture for the tip.
