Call to Artists: "Step into the Street" at Mad Arts Gallery curated by Maritza Benson

Curator Maritza @maritzatheartjunkie with Mad Arts Gallery invites artists to participate in the exhibition “Step into the Street” where we bring the creativity, passion, and vibe found in the city streets into the gallery of Mad Arts.

In this interactive exhibition, street artists, musicians and performers showcase their work and style while the audience becomes part of the scene as they walk through the urban streetscape reimagined inside the gallery.

We are open to bold, edgy, expressive work that leads to an interactive experience that transports the viewer to another space where rules are made to be broken and creative impulses dominate.
