Over 40 artists have contributed art work made on or with griptape and more! A lot of these artists have shown with 1975 over the last two years and their work last year was a lot of fun! Prices start at $25.00, and proceeds go towards building a world class skatepark in downtown Rochester, NY.

My friend Amy over at THE WORLD IS FUN out of Seattle has been organizing the 2010 Beard & Stache fest. It is in support of Treehouse, an organization that is committed to improving the lives of kids living in foster care. Please check it out if you live out that way, or just want to help!

Beard & Stache Fest presents … the Lovers Quarrel Cardboard Tube Fight

Krudco. and the Roc City Skatepark crew have gathered together 30+ artists from Rochester and around the country to throw down some art on grip tape as a benefit art show, and it’s called GET A GRIP. ALL of the artwork is only $25, and the money goes towards the Roc City Skatepark fund. It is a GREAT benefit, and a great way to get some sick inexpensive art.

Some artists who’ve shown with 1975 have also done some work for the show including (but not limited to) Sarah Rutherford, Lea Rizzo, Erich Lehman, Alan Presutti, and a host of others.

This show opens this Friday, the same as DEATH UNTO OUR ENEMIES. The good news is they are starting at 5pm, and our show will be undoubtedly running to around 10pm or later. You can TOTALLY hit up both shows. I hope you’ve been saving your pennies!
