Irixx Screen is having his first gallery show! You may know him from his D.U.O Gear shirts, hats, jackets and giant bear hugs at The Market NYC, where he holds court and makes friends with people from around the world. He is also a talented and passionate fine artist.

I am so happy to let you know that Irixx is participating in a group show called Conception. It is happening on Friday night, September 19, 2014. The group includes over 30 outstanding emerging artists, and it promises to be exciting and thought-provoking. There will also be drinks and live DJ’s. But mostly, there will be Irixx and his amazing art. Everything he makes has an inspiring story.

Get your tickets to Conception at The Cutting Room, 7PM – 1AM, 44 East 32nd Street, Manhattan.

Located in the central event space inside Chelsea Market, ID Pop brings together a collection of extremely talented and exciting independent New York designers with whom you can personally meet and chat in person.

The Market NYC: While you are walking across Bleecker Street, keep on walking east till you reach The Market NYC.

It is home to many talented makers of jewelry, fashion, decor and fine art, including my friend Irixx Screen, as mentioned above. 12PM – 8PM, 159 Bleecker Street between Thompson and Sullivan Streets, Manhattan

Marketplace at St. Anthony’s: This market continues to be filled with a great range of vendors selling handmade jewelry and body products, clothing and accessories, as well as some vintage and imported items.
