A uniquely Raleigh event, the 2nd annual First Friday “PBaRt Show v2.0” will take place at Designbox Gallery on May 6, 2011 from 6pm-11pm and promises to be more exciting than the 2010 inaugural art show. All artwork is priced $25, $50, $75 or $100 for anyone’s collection. The PBaRt exhibit includes limited edition PBR themed originals by Raleigh’s biggest names. Spend the evening with live music, acrobatic entertainment, fire performances, free pics from the photo booth, food-truck food and an exclusive aerial fashion show! Admission is FREE. A suggested $2 - $20 donation will be greatly appreciated and accepted on behalf of the Visual Art Exchange [501(c)3] and circusSPARK.

Artwork is curated by local celebrity pop-artist Paul Friedrich who also created the event’s “PBR and the Unicorn You Rode in on” poster art. Participating artists include: Holly Aiken, Greg Clayton, Mark Elmore, Eric Knisley, Andrew Goldfarb, Adam Peele, David Rose, Bart Cusick, Artie Barksdale, Victor Knight, Deneé Black, Gus Fink, Emi Boz, Anna Taylor, Skillet Gilmore and Paul Friedrich.

High flying fashion meets circus couture with the debut of Raleigh Denim’s new line of woman’s jeans when Raleigh Denim teams up with AcroEntertainment to present an exclusive Aerial Fashion Show at 7:30pm. Acrobatic trapeze artist, Kaci Torres, says she is, “excited to wear the workshop’s newest line while hanging upside down because you will be able to see the quality at every angle.” According to Raleigh Denim co-founder, Victor Lytvinenko, “these jeans are made for karate kicks and looking good.” AcroEntertainment will perform again at 8:30pm and Phoenix Rising will team up with circusSPARK to showcase the North Carolina’s hottest fire dancers at 10pm. As the event name alludes, PBaRt Show v2.0 promises to be bigger and better than the kick-off event in 2010.

Enjoy live performances by Brett Harris (Durham), Crystal Bright & the Silver Hands (Greensboro) and Skullbuckle (Raleigh). Denmark records will open and close the event with their label’s hottest DJs: Casanova Brown, Zaiah &Holygrailers. The free concert is hosted in the parking lot between Designbox and the Humble Pie restaurant. Wine, spirits and PBR may be purchased at Humble Pie. Bicycle riders welcome!
