This Saturday, Sergio Garcia has his first solo show (entitled Formal) at Kettle Art:

"The idea behind Formal is the idea of having a name. Whether it be label, whether it be hype, whether it be to identify something. A lot of times people will do certain things for that name so it's the same with the art world. An artist will have a big name and automatically their stuff's worth a lot of money not depending on what the work is and I think that's silly. That's kind of why I'm doing it like this with brand names, because since I don't really have a name I'm giving people what they want already. A "Formal". Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm calling the game out completely like I hate it. I would love to be a part of it so it's actually like I'm calling it out and celebrating it at the same time, because I would be lying to myself if I said I don't want my stuff to sell for a lot of money. If I was married and my wife wanted Louis Vuitton or Versace I would buy it for her if I could afford it for sure. So I'm not against the whole idea I'm just calling it out."

--Sergio Garcia, Pegasus News's Artist Spotlight

In the spirit of the event, formal attire is suggested. As Sergio puts it:

"I kind of wanted people to be part of this because Formal is more of an exhibition. I want it to be a theme kind of with substance to it, you know like everyone feel like their involved...."

I'll be dressed up, but either way, come out and check it out.
