Red Rocks Poster & Art Show 8/1 25+ Artists (Pollock, Masthay, Tripp, Kerrigan)

[Jason Kaczorowski]

Hi everyone. I'm one of the promoters who brought you the BPCIII poster show in Hampton. I've moved away from the BPC and will be hosting all future poster & art shows - called Mock Shows - with my friends at the Mockingbird Foundation. Proceeds from these events will benefit multiple charities including the Mockingbird and Waterwheel Foundations.

I've been a Mockingbird photographer for the past 6 years. I also photograph and volunteer for Headcount, the USTORM Foundation, the Organic School Project, among other non-profit music and art related charities. One of my photos actually is running this month in Relix, Spin and Rolling Stone for the new Headcount campaign. I've worked as Jim Pollock's rep, gallery manager and customer service department for the past 7 years. I've orchestrated his studio shows along with his appearances at Flatstock and other festivals he's printed and showcased on site as such as 10KLF. I've been documenting him though my cameras for nearly the past decade for a book we've been working on that we're aiming to release this year (photos/video I shot of the Hampton '09 release at www.pollockprints.com). Before my work with Pollock, I ran Post Art Productions which hosted both fine art gallery shows and guerilla art shows for parking lot artists throughout the country. Once I graduated college in 2000, I managed several galleries throughout Chicago (S2 Art Group Gallery, Chicago Rock Exchange, etc,.), so as you can see, hosting art shows and managing artists is in my lifeblood. Prior to Post Art, I started the Helping Phriendly Phanzine and distributed it on tour from 1997-1999 and many folks know me by my own stickers and posters I've been selling in lot since 1994 (see: PhanArt The Art of Phish Fans).

Mock Show: Red Rocks is ramping up to be an incredible event! It'll be practically triple the size as the Hampton poster show in relation to our overall exhibition space and nearly three times the number of artists displaying, along with the many other various ways we're improving the perception of the event for patrons. We'll have 25 artists and exhibitors on display, a bloggers lounge to upload photos and chat live from the show, no wait to enter the event plus attendees will be able to stay as long as they'd like.

Tickets went on sale Friday night at Midnight and we're almost 50% sold out already! I encourage you to get your tickets soon if you're considering attending at: http://www.amockshow.com
