A collaborative pop up art show that raised proceeds for Hurricane Sandy Relief. Using cans donated by Plutonium™ Paint, The Drift Project artists created original installations on surfboards, skate-decks and even the walls of Drift Surf Shop. These installations sold as part of a silent auction and raffle that generated proceeds for the Clean Water Couriers, Waves 4 Water.

(Waves 4 Water provides clean water solutions worldwide through ongoing Projects and their volunteer program, CLEAN WATER COURIERS. Visit wavesforwater.org and start your own fundraiser).

A special thanks to Rob Jones of Drift Surf Shop for opening the doors of your store to the project and making it happen.

Join us in Denver this coming Saturday, October 6th for AIGA Colorado’s Bordo Bello, an interactive event which celebrates and breathes life into Denver’s art community. Plutonium™ Paint is pleased to join Bordo Bello in its fifth year, by sponsoring public grip tape painting at the event. Attendees of the public grip tape painting session will be able to customize grip tape with a slew of professional artists. We’ve been told that this portion of the event sells out every year, so you may want to make arrangements to get in on it early! It is also rumored that AIGA may create decks with the grip tape artwork for display at their National Gallery in New York City.

This event is not to be missed! Bordo Bello has become one of Colorado’s premier artist events that attracts artists from all over and encourages them to unite for a common good. Bordo Bello’s funds go to AIGA Colorado’s mentorship opportunities, which include VSA Colorado/Access Gallery, Robert Taylor AIGA Colorado Scholarship fund, to name a few.

Please visit http://www.bordobello.com for more information.

Don’t worry if you won’t be able to make it to Denver, we’ll have plenty of photos for you.

Stay tuned!
