If you’re down with Capcom’s Street Fighter IV and enjoy fine art, get this: I am 8-bit and Nucleus have put together an unranked exhibition for the game in Alhambra, California from April 25 - May 11. It will feature over 30 artists, all of which are probably better at drawing the red devil (Ken) than I am. The show has been dubbed a “celebration” of SFIV and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li's recent releases.
A cosplay competition, a SFIV tournament, and free refreshments are being offered (presumably) during the opening reception.
Tickets are only a buck and the first hundred guests get in free. Feel free to check out the gallery for a small taste of the art and hit the break for the press release that includes a list of the artists. (They need the recognition. I heard a few of them were starving. Zing!)
Description
Nucleus and I am 8-bit are proud to present, with support from CAPCOM, a Street Fighter tribute group art exhibition. In celebration of the new Street Fighter movie and SF4, we will create an exhibition of Street Fighter influenced art that all Street Fighter, video game, and art fans will enjoy.
