The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, in Coventry (UK) is hosting an exciting extravaganza weekend on Saturday 11 September 2010 with something for all urban art lovers; a live Street Art event and free original artwork.
Street Art Saturday offers an opportunity to meet some of the fresh paint artists taking part in the Street Art exhibition. For one day only there will be live spraying, painting, pasting and stencilling happening in the University Square, just outside the Herbert.
For those inspired by the work created on Street Art Saturday there is the chance to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the Herbert to possess their very own work of art for free! It's Yours, Take It is a great way for people who wouldn't normally be able to purchase art to get a piece for free from the artists taking part in Street Art.
For people who can't make it on the day, the Herbert will be hiding artworks around the city each week for the duration of the exhibition. Look out for clues on www.flickr.com/photos/theherbert.
This is an exciting chance to see the process behind the kind of art that will feature in the upcoming touring exhibition from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London โ Street Art: Contemporary Prints from the V&A. Showcasing the work of some of the biggest artists in the street art community, with names such as Banksy, Sickboy and D*Face, the Herbert is the first venue to host this exhibition when it goes on tour in October.
Birmingham based graffiti artist, Mohammed Ali, will also be exhibiting at the Herbert during the Street Art exhibition. With his unique fusion of urban graffiti art and traditional Arabic Islamic calligraphy, Ali's work offers the chance to explore another aspect of the street art scene.
Street Art Saturday takes place in University Square on Saturday 11 September from 11.00am โ 4.00pm with It's Yours, Take It in the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum from 12.30pm onwards and throughout Coventry for the duration of the exhibition.

Moved - take it- its yours, by Cornish Crayon on Sept 12, 2010 15:14:17 GMT 1, nice piece's coach.... did you pick out up theanimalart would love to see pics if you did.....
I managed to get a piece and my wife waited patiently in another queue, but she didn't take a piece as she did not want to take a piece of art for the sake of it, It's better a certain piece goes to somebody that actually wants it for the piece and not because its a freebie or got a certain Name on the back 
And yes people were flipping stuff over to see the name.......Nope ain't heard of that one put it back down again, are you gonna hang it on your flippin wall backwards then...............  bloody idiots !!!!
Seriously dude i've been to less rude car boot sales, there were people pushing in and taking piece's then dumping it with a partner then coming back for more, playing the innocent "oh my child/nan/dog would really like this on there wall, and i don't have one yet"
And the organizer had clearly said one piece per person 
And obviously when the free art was gone, 75% of the people just pissed off 
The demos and day were really enjoyable, and it was nice too see faces hang around all day to see the pieces being completed, and it was great to talk openly with some of the artist's (seriously thanks dudes).
Once again top marks to "the Herbert" and all the heads that went into make this exhibition possible,
and do you know what, the magic moment was at around 15.00 talking to some random old dear probably 75 years old (bless her  ) Asking my wife and i to explain the meaning's behind some of the piece's 
And she really did love looking at the work and appreciating the work/time that goes into it, i gave her some stickers ;D
I'll get some snaps up in a bit/tomorrow maybe 
Sorry this started with a rant

i think your rant is justified bud...... good on your wife for having that attitude..... to me the way people act at such events would spoil the whole experience of been there.... i was chatting to a forum member only the other day about people only buying into art because of the name not the actual image or idea etc.... sort of backs up my point realy....!!! .... apart from all that i hope you had a good day all in all and look forward to seeing the piece you got.... ;D

Some manuvering going on, but where I was, I didnt see anyone pushing in, didnt see anyone going back for more pieces. Not sure people were trying to find pieces by artists they had heard of - the impression I got wass that most people there had stumbled upon the event, and were not necessarily fans of street art. (Not doubting your experiences theanimalart, just saying what mine were).
My missus also didnt pick up a piece - cos she's not bovered! So just me and the kids got one - but they are both collectors in their own rights. I had no idea who my piece was by - just liked it!
My enthusiam though was for the event itself. Great to see the painters at work, and some great people. Lovely in particular to have a good chat with Panhl. And my lad got a few mor tags in his book!
Sorry your experience was not so good.
Look forward to seeing your pics theanimalart - I had to leave at 1 as had an appointment up the road in Derby at 2. So the paitings were not finished when I left.
Cheers

Moved - take it- its yours, by Pahnl on Sept 13, 2010 23:47:33 GMT 1, It was a pleasure to finally meet you guys too, I head to these events to have a chat more than to paint. The day got progressively better, which I think had something to do with the improved weather, haha.
Liking those 'little detail' shots, animal.
If I get time, I'll cut together a video of the day but I'm not sure how much good footage I got since I was also painting.
The show launch on the 7th of October should be a good 'un

You were sizing up the stencil, but hadnt started to spray it. Was on a strict schedule and had to leave. Thanks for posting pics of your completed piece - its a corker!
