Shepard Fairey a Phenomenon at Dallas Contemporary

Combining elements of graffiti and pop art, Shepard Fairey is best known for the poster he created during the last presidential election of Barak Obama. He also developed a campaign of street art with the theme of “Obey Giant,” referring to the late professional wrestler Andre the Giant. Now Fairey turns his talents on Dallas, in collaboration with the Dallas Contemporary.

Join co- chairmen Bradley Agather, Hannah Hoffman and Meghan Looney, on Saturday, February 4^th at the Dallas Contemporary for the phenomenal first annual dance party called Phenomenon, featuring the Los Angeles based graffiti artist Shepard Fairey.

Phenomenon celebrates the creation of over 12 murals Shepard Fairey will paint throughout Dallas, (the largest in any city) specifically West Dallas using mixed materials with paint. The neon-themed dance extravaganza will get its groove on just hours after Fairey completes this citywide mural project, and as a worldwide touring DJ, Fairey will also spin tunes throughout the evening.

The celebration begins at 9:00 P.M. with the very best of Dallas’ food trucks serving nosh till midnight. And, there is always an excuse to shop—check out the artists’ pop-up shop with signed posters, OBEY clothing, books and more.

Tickets are available on Dallas Contemporary’s website, $15 for members and $50 for non-members. Phenomenon should not be missed.
