The official kick-off event will showcase a special exhibition and live mural painting performance by internationally renowned artist Billy the Artist (BTA), as well as an introduction to the recently selected group of Summer Rotation Artists.

RSVP's encouraged and appreciated. 

Guests will enjoy celebratory hors d’oeuvres, wine, beer and music. Attendees can meet BTA, purchase his work and witness a live mural painting performance inside the gallery. The event will also introduce the work of twenty local and regional artists who will be featured in the gallery through July 22nd.

An internationally renowned artist based in the East Village of New York City, this is Billy the Artist’s first introduction and exhibition to South Walton and the Emerald Coast, thanks to friends and half-year residents Andre & Diane Dominick. BTA’s projects and designs have been seen all over the world.

The mural BTA paints during the kick-off event will be raffled off the next evening during the “Under the Sea” Underwater Museum of Art (UMA) Fundraiser on Thursday, May 10, from 7 – 10pm in Grand Park at Grand Boulevard Town Center. The event will feature delicious food, a Tiki bar and a special concert by Shawn Mullins with his band, Soul Carnival.
