JULY 29TH, 2010 | ELECTRIC EUROPE PRESENTS ART SHADE EXPO | HOSSEGOR, FRANCE
On Friday 30th July, the Volcom Store in Hossegor will welcome the first Electric Art Shade Expo.
What’s the Electric Art Shade Expo?
Electric Europe approached 5 French artists and proposed them to design unique pieces from different styles of our sunglasses collection.
The day of the exhibition, you will have the opportunity to see the artistic work made by Fanny Fleuraux, Bizmut, David Tchag, Feustay and Lucas Beaufort. They worked a few months customising our shades, turning them into paintings, sculptures, and more… To date, the artists are still at work and we will have about 30 pieces to show.
After the stop in Hossegor, there should be other demonstrations in France.
At the end of these exhibitions, showpieces will be put up for auction online. Collected funds will be given to an association or a charity chosen by the artists.
You can check the artists’ worlds on their websites:
