Art From the New World at the Bristol Museum

On Saturday night, May 15th 2010, the Bristol Museum opened their doors for the grand opening of the highly anticipated "Art From the New World" show. Featuring a veritable who's-who of American contemporary, street, and new-brow artists, "Art From the New World" proved to be a popular follow up to last year's record breaking Banksy museum show. As we mentioned in our behind-the-scenes look last week, in addition to the amazing artwork there was also a bevy of interactive and non-conventional curatorial aspects to the show including a Mike Stilkey installation, Buff Monster installation and murals, Gary Baseman character appearance, and even a guided tour of the exhibit by Corey Helford director Richard Scarry (taking place Saturday, May 22nd). View our photos from the opening festivities here.
