The Red Bull Art of Can was a nationwide hunt for creativity and is open to everyone, from full-time artists to anyone with a creative flair. Build, sculpt, weld, glue, hammer, bend, fold, print, tape and paint, whatever you like!
The Art of Can exhibitions, one which was held in the prestigious Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin which attracted one its biggest crowds with in excess of 5000 people viewing the exhibition in 5 days, the other exhibition held in Derrys famous Guild hall during the international Jazz festival.
We really had a great opportunity to activate exhibition on to the street with various activities, including performing street artists and the steel drum band who won the Notting Hill Carnival,
The Red Bull Art of Can offered a platform for anyone, regardless of age, who wants to explore his or her creative talent. Artists, students, grandparents and all those inbetween are invited to submit their works of art. The Red Bull Art of Can is a true expression of one’s imagination, with little or no restrictions placed on the budding artist.
The primary material used must be a silver and blue Red Bull can (Sugarfree and Cola are also an option), but you had to add plenty of imagination and creativity. Make a sculpture, a picture, a 3D model, a mobile, or a piece of modern art, but make it beautiful, colourful, clever, amusing or outrageous.
