It's big, fat, indoor-outdoor block party time! And now, thanks to the good people at InLiquid.com, your cheap-ass ticket to arty bliss lasts two days. We're talking Art for the Cash Poor 8, where not a smidgen of the work for sale (paintings, prints, drawings, ceramics, handmade purses, dangly earrings, kitschy magnets, etc.) costs a penny more than $199. Which may still sound expensive — especially if you're accustomed to decorating with blacklight posters — but will totally pay off in, like, 78 years when Antiques Roadshow rolls through town.
Here's the deal: For two days, you can chitty-chat with your favorite artists, jam out to a bunch of bands you've probably never heard of (A Dead Bird, King of Siam, Timi + the Dub Warriors, Abiku, Lismore, that Marc Laurick dude from Bunnydrums), eat food, drink beer and make nice with your neighbors in Northern Liberties.
Ones to watch for when you're milling about: Judd Buffman's ice cream-colored techno paintings; Dae Rebeck's haunting, sandpapery takes on big tops and purgatory; Suzie Morris' refurbished slip dresses; Lusterbunny's porcelain pendants overlaid with vintage-y silhouettes of squirrels and chandeliers; Linda Johnson's darling avian cookie pots; Jen McCleary's old-timey assemblage; and David Aronson's graphite grotesques of ids, egos and everything in between. Oh, and props to our personal fave: abstruse Space 1026er Andrew Jeffrey Wright.
Even if you're the cheapest bitch on the planet, spring for a raffle ticket. Prizes come courtesy of Cerealart, Bambi Project, Conspiracy Showroom, Shiatsu Studio and more, and surely don't include blacklight posters.
Sat.-Sun., June 9-10, 1-6 p.m., free, The Crane Arts Building, 1400 N. American St., 215-235-3405, www.inliquid.com.
