THE ART OF HIP HOP FESTIVAL: Celebrating the 5 Elements a fine art exhibit and hip hop festival Nickel n’a Nail and The Brickhouse Art Gallery is seeking submissions in any and all media forms for a urban contemporary art exhibition: THE ART OF HIP HOP FESTIVAL: Celebrating the 5 Elements. We encourage all street artists to apply, and join us for this ground breaking event. Our goal is to showcase artist’s perceptions of the five elements of Hip Hop (Graffiti/Street Art, MC’ing, DJ’ing, B-Boy/Girl ‘Dance’ and Knowledge of Self) and shed light on the political, social and economic issues through their art medium. The exhibition will showcase art works, Hip Hop memorabilia and performances that incorporate the bold, vibrant and outspoken nature of Hip Hop. The aim of the exhibit is to compile the many artistic components, icons and atmospheres that surround and comprise Hip Hop, as well as taking a deeper look into Sacramento and the Northern California’s unique Hip Hop culture. There will be a “The Art of Hip Hop Festival” Commemorative Catalog, T-Shirt and Music CD produced for this exhibit.
