As part of the commemoration of our 100-year-old former grocery store building, Auditorium Grocery Company, we have commissioned local artist Mina Gaber to create a site-specific art installation.
You are invited to view Mina as she creates the mixed media mural entitled "IV" during the one-week installation period September 6-12, 2016. Mina will be painting from 4 p.m. to dusk daily.
To toast the artistic collaboration, we're creating a cocktail special available all week, and an unveiling on September 12th celebrating the completion of the mural.
Mina describes the mural "IV" as enveloping the eastern interior wall of Mongoose versus Cobra to transform the 100-year-old space. This piece is mindful of the building's bones and its history and transformations the fabric of its construction. "IV" brings the building's captivating exterior inside the building and creates an intriguing and distinctly new aspect to the space. Bringing her intensely detailed drawing together with metallic surface, Mina will add a new dimension to the already fascinating structure.
