A comprehensive gathering of some of the most remarkable contemporary street artists and graffiti writers is set to take place this week, as Primary Flight broadens its reach with the addition of Blue Print For Space, hosted by ArtCenter/South Florida on Tuesday, Dec. 2. The art exhibition will showcase over 25 of today’s most active and unique street artists at its Miami Beach gallery, including artist Tes One, who designed this customized set of Beats By Dr Dre/ Monster headphones:
Pretty kick-ass, no? Primary Flight is also working with some of the biggest names in music and consumer electronics to combine the best in sound and technology with today's most prominent street artists. There will be a charity auction of the custom-painted Beats By Dr Dre headphones at the afterparty, to benefit the ArtCenter/South Florida's Arts in Education program. For this year’s event, Beats by Dr. Dre and world leading audio/video accessories company Monster are donating several pairs of Studio headphones from the Beats by Dr. Dre headphone line from Monster.
Primary Flight is a launch pad for some Street Artists, and a victorious return to the nest for others such as Shepard Fairey and Ron English, both of whom transitioned from Street Art to the Fine Art arena.
