Clothesline rests somewhere between an apartment show and a street art festival. In conjunction with the Summer Solstice, the Videodance exhibition from the Centre Pompidou in France, and the International Day of Music HPAC is hosting our third un-curated one-day open call for artists and performers.
Clothesline is an extra-temporary occasional exhibition that includes any and all artists that want to participate. So far over 40 local artists and performers are slated to participate with more to come. All artwork is accepted and will be shown as a group exhibition in various locations around HPAC for 7 hours on Saturday June 21st along with dance, theatre and music performances, and a potluck barbecue.
