Art shows in Newport are usually as follows - Way over priced mundane shite , stuffy people in their sundays bests , a tiny crappy platter of stop & shop veggies n dip , theres never any good tunes and always the same buzzards are there just to scam some free grub and boxed wine........

Last week there was an Art show on broadway that blew the roof off it all............Jill at Curl Up and Dye with help from Brandy Rhoads organised the best afternoon of art and music and food to raise money for Cancer charities.........

This wee baby was doing it up.....Im not sure who he belonged to.......he seems ready to shred.........

Katie had 17 hairstyles going at once.........

Jill's place was packed with people of all ages and styles and nationalities........all the best eateries in town supplied the foods and cakes ...the buffett was humongous ........Painters , sculptors , welders , photographers , illustrators and tattoo artists from New York to Maine donated the most incredible pieces to auction off to help raise money.........The level of Artwork was amazing.......so much inspiring shite out there.................

While the Raffle ticket birds worked the crowd dressed to the nines in mental stage gear ...........tunes from the 60s 70s and 80s rock n roll and metal crates kept heads nodding all day.............
