Contact: Melody Saberon | melody@noveltown.net | 661-900-2553 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- Bakersfield – Noveltown is partnering up again, this time to help bring poetic storytelling and film to Bakersfield’s Downtown Sculpture and Assemblage Show on August 19th & 26th.
Bakersfield Art Rave, in association with MÁS magazine (masbakersfield.com), Bakotopia (bakotopia.com) and Noveltown (www.noveltown.net) brings A.S. Ashley’s army of local artists downtown for a first-of-its-kind show! Known for his controversial, theme-oriented group art exhibits, this “artczar” is pulling out all the stops in offering the largest collection of sculptures, assemblages, and “combines” ever shown in Bakersfield. The future CAPISTRANO’S restaurant (19th and Eye Street ) is providing the space for this 4,000 square foot event; showcasing 15 local artists exhibiting over 80 pieces of artwork.
“For Noveltown, this event brings factory-themed assembly line poetry from the heart of industrial Bakersfield through words and images,” says Melody Saberon. “For our poets, it’s the art of building, discovery and culture change. For Bakersfield, the Downtown Sculpture and Assemblage Show brings more fluidity to culture and the arts. That’s the dream—to help build culture, right?”
Included in the show will be film clips and poetry provided and shown by Noveltown. This cutting-edge offering is just another example of Noveltown’s ever-expanding reach into various aspects of our Arts community as it helps fuse Bakersfield’s blossoming Art Renaissance.
THE DOWNTOWN SCULPTURE AND ASSEMBLAGE SHOW SATURDAYS~AUG. 19th & 26th~5pm-Midnight~$5 Admission @ CAPISTRANO’S 1534 19th Street (19th and Eye)
