Get Ready For Latin Invasion

Mano A Mano Art Shows

Started in 2008 with a simple premise; the best in art with the best in music while accessing venues not usually open to artists.  

Mano A Mano Art Shows recognizes that Music and Art go hand in hand as our logo illustrates that point with a hand on a record and a hand with a pencil.

Our shows feature dozens of artists of various disciplines all focused on a single theme.  Throughout the night DJ Osmose and Sir NerveX spin some awesome music while art lovers browse the art on the walls and interact with the actual artists. A couple times an hour we will do artist interviews on stage to give everyone an inside look into the creative process of the artists. We also feature drawing contest which we call Pencil Wars. We pass out small paper cards and pencils and have an all out pencil drawing contest with a winner decided by majority crowd vote.

 

In 2011 Mano A Mano Art Shows are focused in giving back to the human community. Charity involvement in our shows allow us to donate some of the proceeds of our art sales to help those in need.

 Feed The People does exactly that, Feed people who are hungry and homeless. They have an ongoing National feed the people program in effect right now that they’ve worked on for the past three years.  You can find more info at http://ftpmovement.tumblr.com

Mano A Mano Art Shows has also partnered with The Action Not Words Project. ANWP supports various causes internationally. They support local food and garden projects; internationally they support housing for homeless families as well as feeding less fortunate communities. ANWP collects perishables, canned goods, toiletries and clothing for local and international charities. Please visit http://www.theactionnotwordsproject.org .

The venue was an awesome win for Mano A Mano Art Shows as Keelee Butler provides us with KSP/The Loft at Metropolitan Lofts in the West End. The space is huge and we plan on filling it with art, models, djs and art lovers. For more on the venue, please search for KSP Event Space on FaceBook.

Mano A Mano Art Shows are very interactive and fun as the way art and music should be. What better way to expose the arts than with great music and an awesome atmosphere?  We love art, we love music and we love helping the human cause.

 

 

 


Art, Models, Body Painters, Photographers & DJ's for a Cause

The Latin Invasion Art Show explores the mythological prophecies of the end of the world. According to Mayan calculations, 2012 is the fall of the Fifth Sun. 2012 is the end of the world as we know it. Artists are tasked with visualizing what that means to our culture, our way of thinking, the current state of humanity and ultimately, how we plan to celebrate the great history that humanity has enjoyed until this day.

There will be body painted models for artist to draw and photographer to take pictures of. Dozens of paintings from artists all over the US and two great DJ’s spinning Latin Classics and Hip Hop inspired music. FTP will provide their nutritious delicious food and there will be a full bar of spirits open.
