Tomorrow Night!! Artifakt 4th Annual Graffiti Jam Featuring Mash Hall
Posted by: Ripley in Art, Artifakt Events, Artifakt News, Artists, Events, General, Music
Tomorrow night at Lo_Fi is our 4th annual graffiti jam. I’m so excited for this event it is going to be EPIC! To make things even better, Lo_Fi has been remodeled and looks super nice. Also, we will be unveiling a brand new mural painted on the side of Lo_Fi. There will be lights in the parking lot so everyone can check the mural out. Finally, with Mash Hall headling our musical acts this event is going to be so much fun!
Here is a sneak peak of the mural below. I have been going by everyday and documenting the progression. I will be making a time lapse video of the mural project and will be posting it soon. I will also be posting finished photos.
Enjoy!
Friday the 13th

I just found out about this local event that should be a good time and it’s completely free-except for the beer garden. The event is the South Lake Union Block Party and proceeds from this year’s SLU Block Party will benefit Historic Seattle, the only nonprofit dedicated to preserving Seattle and King County’s architectural legacy. Supporting Historic Seattle’s longstanding commitment to protecting our local historic buildings is perfectly aligned with South Lake Union’s own values – a neighborhood whose bright future also honors its rich history. A few of the distinctive historic buildings that have been preserved in SLU include the New Richmond Laundry Building at Alley24, the Ford and Pacific McKay buildings as well as the Terry Avenue Building and Van Vorst Building that are part of the new Amazon.com headquarters.
The block party starts at noon but I think that the best time to go will be in the evening to enjoy some beer and these two events:
8:00 – 9:00 P.M.
ZomBcon International presents Thriller Dance workshop by Seattle Thrillers
9:00 – 11:00 P.M.
Cinema on the Lawn Outdoor Movie – Zombieland (Rated R)
If you have never seen Zombieland it’s really good and has one of the best cameo appearance twists ever.
The weather is supposed to be real nice Friday evening so why not get out…drink a little and watch an outdoor movie? And support local Seattle Non-Profit Organizations!
