An Art Show By Dakota Dean
“Civil Disobedience”
I’m excited to invite everyone to the opening reception of my featured artist exhibit: “Civil Disobedience”, Which will be at Parklane Gallery on Friday, March 8th from 5pm – 9pm.
“Civil Disobedience” is my celebration of getting to do what I love for a living. Which is making art; and causing a little bit of trouble with my sarcasm along the way. It’s an exploration of the idea: In a society that profits from your unhappiness and demands your compliance, doing what you love is an act of civil disobedience!
I’m also excited to announce that the first 15 people to show up for me will receive a 1 of a kind, limited addition, artist embellished print of the title piece “Civil Disobedience”. So come early, they will run out quit.
Come hang out, have some cheap wine and fancy cheese, and lets celebrate together!
Friday – March 8th
5pm – 8pm

From The Artist:
“On top of all the noise, and in front of the archaic backdrops of our lives, there sits something very peaceful and angelic. When I paint I feel like I can find that something, and speak from it. There are a lot of things in life that we feel are unchangeable. Rules become suffocating, and there are always forces that we wish we could stand up against. I paint to remind myself that I capable of escaping the oppressive. And I think we all need that drive.
I learned at a very young age that there is an exception to every rule, and they can always be broken. When I paint, I hope to remind that YOU ARE that exception. Make your own rules, live on your own terms, and stand up when you have something to say.” – Dakota Dean
