Popaganda opens at Beep Beep Gallery Sat., Jan. 10

Local artists show political art this Saturday.

It’s been a big year for political art. Shepard Fairey’s soviet-styled Obama posters are still all over the place, Sarah Palin has shown up in some great paintings, and the Denver Police Union even designed some political T-shirts. In light of all this recent visual-art politicking, Atlanta’s Beep Beep Gallery will be showing Popaganda, a group show that seeks to celebrate and criticize contemporary and traditional forms of propaganda. Participating artists will include Evereman, Rene Arriagada aka Transmit Device, Sat Kirpal Khalsa, Ben Goldman, Travis Dodd akaMachete, Bryan Westberry, Kerri Boles, Kim Feigenbaum,Charstarr, Stenvik Mostrom, Baxter Crane, Bean Summers, J.R.Schulz, Reed Elliot and more. More details can be found at their website.
