More Than Sunshine

Orlando, FL (May 18, 2015) – Orlando heavyweights and art community supernovas, the B-Side Artists, assemble once again for their annual group show exhibit “B-Side Artists present… Awareness Month,” June 18th (6-10pm) at City Arts Factory as apart of the Orlando Downtown Arts District’s 3rd Thursday.

Since last year’s record breaking group showing at their 2014 exhibit entitled, “Legacy,” The B-Side Artists (Swamburger, Chris Tobar, SKIP, Peterson Guerrier, Peter Van Flores III, G Lemus, Lucy Furs, Steve Parker, Tr3, and others) have continued the building of that legacy, both as a collective and as individuals. They have an exciting and larger-than-life follow up planned for this June, and promise to wow and woo with works and worlds more wonderful than anything they have presented previously.

As you may recall, last year’s B-Side exhibit was a celebration of the history of the B-Side Artists and included an impressive number of creative participants from the immense artist roster that the group boasts. The exhibit also presented a brand new look and attitude from core member Chris Tobar called “Native,” introduced the digital side of Orlando’s unofficial mayor Swamburger, and was ground zero for the image wellness installation by artist SKIP and photographer Tasha Copley entitled “Franchise: The Ideal Woman,” which quickly sparked a movement worldwide and received press from such outlets as Huffington Post and Cosmopolitan Magazine.

This year the roster will be scaled down to include the more core members of the group, and will focus on bigger and larger pieces, brand new themes and ideas, and a grandeur and wow-factor that has not been seen before by this crew. This is not a new beginning or a reinvention by any means, this is just what happens when you give a group of some of Orlando’s best creative minds the free reign to let loose and the wall space to do it with.

Expect works from Swamburger, Chris Tobar, SKIP, Lucy Furs, Peterson Guerrier, G Lemus, Peter Van Flores III, Tr3 and new member Jon Glassman at City Arts Factory, Thursday, June 18th from 6-10pm. The exhibit is all ages and free to the public.
