Two new Ybor venues are offering content usually associated with Burg art events.
The cigar district’s new supersize arts venue, MF Arts Ybor, is off to an auspicious start with its second big show in the past couple of months. Joining Dysfunctional Grace and other recently erected neighborhood galleries, MF is one more sign that the district is becoming more artsy and less fartsy as David Morris so eloquently puts in his story this week.
Offering a night of street-smart visuals and edgy entertainment, All You See Is … showcases artists Eddie Rivera, Richie Brazil, Oscar Valdez, Alex Claws and Esben el Rey, who have painted murals beforehand for the event and will be entertaining crowds with their live painting on a designated 400-square-foot section of the venue.
Food vendors will be onsite, and alcoholic beverages will be served. DJ Qeys and music acts Mushmind, Bangarang and Samurai Shotgun provide the sounds.
May 30, 7 p.m., MF Arts Ybor, 1616 E. Second Ave., Ybor City, $8, facebook.com/mfartsybor.
