Flatcolor Gallery proudly presents the 2nd annual Matt "Bhiver" Smith Memorial Art Show and Auction on Thursday, October 29th from 5-9pm.
October 29th from 5-9pm Flatcolor Gallery will host the 2nd annual Matt "Bhiver" Smith Memorial Art Show. this event will feature a silent art auction and exhibition celebrating Matt's art and inspiration.
"Matt was the greatest friend you could imagine and a large component of his vitality as a person came from his remarkable enthusiasm for art. He recognized the art in everything and you could visibly see his physical excitement when he liked what he saw, or heard, or felt. He loved art deeply. But he also loved artists. It might be possible that he loved artists even more than he loved art."
-Nick Casalini, dear friend and presenter of the 1st Matt Smith Art Award at the University of Hawaii Art Awards presentation (April 2008).
To date, six art students have received awards of $1500.00 each.
