This second annual show began in 2008 in response to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Artists participating in this show value the inspiration that can be found in industrial sites and support work/live artist spaces. I would definitely encourage you to check out Dirty Smelly Noisy II's site to read about the history behind the show coming to fruition and the great artist spaces and community that is shared as a result!

If you're in the area, definitely check it out! Pictures from the show will be posted soon.

"Decay"
Sixth Street Gallery
Opening Reception Friday, October 3, 2008 from 5:00-9:00pm
Show runs October 3rd - November 6th, 2008
 
For contact info, gallery hours, or directions please refer to: www.sixthstreetgallery.com
 
Sixth Street Gallery presents "Decay" - an aesthetic interpretation of the various forms, stages, and manners of decay, and its effects in and upon the world around us. The passage of time brings the natural decay of our bodies and our faculties. Buildings are abandoned and left to crumble, changing the boundaries of our cities and nations. Moral and cultural decay eat away at individuals and societies from within. Life is change, and decay an inevitability, but decay can be just as much a force for rebirth as for ruin. For as the falling leaves of autumn decay upon the forest floor, they in turn serve as the basis for the re-emergence of life in the Spring, in the endless cycle of the seasons. All things decay and come to an end, but every end brings the possibility of new beginnings.
 
"I have always looked upon Decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth." - Henry Miller
Decay - to pass from a sound, prosperous, or perfect state, to one of imperfection, adversity, or dissolution.
