VPAG & The Vernon Winter Carnival Present Pinot & Paint
Join us on February 11th for a painting event, hosted by local Artists Mandi Irmen and Christine Kashuba for an evening of creativity, laughter, good company and wine.
In conjunction with the Vernon Winter Carnival’s Back to the 80’s theme, we will be painting Keith Haring’s iconic work Best Buddies Pop Shop I (A) from 1987. Haring was an American artist whose pop art emerged from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s. Launched in 1986, Pop Shop I was a revolutionary concept that blurred the lines between commercialism and high art. An extension of his work, the boutique sold prints, T-shirts and novelty items with Keith’s imagery as well as some of his contemporaries, like Kenny Scharf and Jean Michel Basquiat.
Best Buddies remains a testament to Haring’s commitment to accessibility and his belief that art should be for everyone. Aligning with our Mandate to promote and encourage visual arts in the broader community, Best Buddies exemplifies Haring’s dedication to using art as a medium for social change, encouraging dialogue, and breaking down the exclusivity often associated with the art world.
Tickets can be purchased via the Vernon Winter Carnival’s website, bring your group, your friends or just yourself and enjoy a relaxing and creative evening
