Speakeasy Art Gallery presents: The Art of the Mix Tape

BOONTON, N.J. - July 25, 2015 - PRLog -- Speakeasy Art Gallery is pleased to present our 2015 summer group exhibit, "The Art of the Mix Tape". Featuring over 50 works by more than 30 artists; all priced below $200. The gallery challenged artists to create a piece of art named after a song by a specific artist made either on or from an actual cassette tape. The result is an eclectic mix of art and artists inspired by just about any genre of music imaginable, from hip hop to classical, folk to metal and everything in between. When displayed together, the exhibit itself will become a mix tape, with the original songs accompanying the art.

The participating artists include some Speakeasy Art Gallery favorites such as Mike Bell, Rob Hessler and Amy Puccio as well as some newcomers to the gallery like Jenna Morello and Kelly Vetter. You can catch "The Art of the Mix Tape" at Speakeasy Art Gallery from August 7th - September 19th during gallery hours.

"The mix tape is a form of American folk art: predigested cultural artifacts combined with homespun technology and magic marker, turn the mix tape into a message in a bottle. I am no mere consumer of pop culture, it says, but also a producer of it." - Matias Viegener
