Artist Curtis Wallins is bringing Wallindia: Fun & Pretty to the Open Source Gallery Soup Kitchen Project. Stop by for a meal.

For the month of December Open Source Gallery is about Cooking, Eating, Sharing, Celebrating… On the night of December 19th artist Curtis Wallin joins the Open Source Gallery to create a meal for the community. Dinner at the Open Source Gallery is served every night from 7-9pm. The people who come vary from working class people to self-employed artists and occasionally a person who is down on their luck or simply hungry.

Wallindia is the imaginary country founded by the artist Curtis Wallin where he depicts himself and his wife as King Curtis and Queen Julie of WALLINDIA, rulers for life of the great country of WALLINDIA. The works of art in this series are created from different mediums but the individual artworks are guided by a constant vision dictated by the King himself. He is both creator and curator of WALLINDIA. The art must display the endless good for people and keep in mind the country’s motto “Fun & Pretty”.

This fall Curtis installed the first permanent outdoor installation for WALLINDIA, entitled Wondrous, WALLINDIA, a 13 foot x 22 foot billboard painted on the side of a barn.

Curtis Wallin’s work is currently on view at the Rush Gallery in the Curate NYC show. His work has been shown in DUMBO arts Under the Bridge Festival, Brooklyn Lyceum, PS 122, and Interart in NYC. Curtis also has designed the scenery for a number of operas including, Norma, Seattle Opera, Marriage of Figaro, Seattle Opera Young Artist and UCLA, What Price Confidence, The Austrian Cultural Forum, NYC,
Acis and Galatea, Santa Fe Pro Musica, and Six Ten Minute Operas, EOS Orchestra, NYC.
