GCS Block Party Re-cap

Theydrift_gcsJUNE 6th, 2015- This month’s art walk had a lot in store for everyone. Not only was it the monthly first saturday of the month art walk, but East End Santa Ana held their second annual EAST END BLOCK PARTY, as well as the traveling beatswapmeet. This post is an attempt to capture all the happenings at GCS on this day. I’m sure this will take more than one post, so here we go.

THEYDRIFT a.k.a. Carlos Aguilar and KSRA were our featured artists of the month in our gallery. In addition to the great pieces that they brought with them, they painted live through out the day for the art walk crowd.

JROZ, MC Prototype and Jook blessed the mics this evening.

DJ’s Daine, Real, AB and Neuropunk gave the gallery a great vibe through sound vibrations.

3rdi, Hippieone and Q-Vo also had a chance to share their art with the public.

And to top off the evening, Burst Rock and Tic Tac hosted our first breaking and popping battle held in our new location. B-Boy Tekken and Popper Chris won the night.

And as stated before, many many more photos and videos to come. They_drift_gcs_block_party
