From the creators of Bill You Murray Me?, Drop it Like it’s Art, the Steven Seagallery, and Zig – a – Zigallery comes the one, the only, Happy Little Clouds. It’s a new art exhibition celebrating the artistic style and unique spirit of the man famous for saying “we don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents”: Bob Ross!
The show itself goes down Saturday, February 22, at the Fall Tattoo & Art Gallery (644 Seymour Street), but if you have a bit of time on your hands and some Bob Ross-fuelled inspiration to channel, you can still get involved. To submit a piece to this show, check out their Facebook page for details. Basically, as with their past ventures, organizers are looking for some quick and dirty art work. They aren’t stuck up about it; they will accept anything from painting and drawing to short stories or papier mâché sculpture, as long as it is Bob Ross-centric.
Mark your calendars now for opening night. Not only will there be some good people, amusing art and cheap booze (a good time if it stopped right there), but you can also expect a show of remixed excerpts from Bob Ross’s show the Joy of Painting AND this may be your only opportunity to ever see a live perm that will be painted by a Bob Ross look a like. Door donations will be going to the Positive Women’s Network, an organization for women with HIV in BC.
