When we got back from holiday, two days later we had our first ever exhibition as members of the Xstreets Collective. It took months of planning and promoting and organising, and of course last minute running around making sure we had everything ready for the day.
First we had the UmbrellArt Roadshow where we attracted a lot of interest from passers by as we had the Umbrellas from Street Artists all over the world displayed in the middle of the Niewmarkt. While we walked back with the Umbrellas open, the rest of the crew were frantically putting the finishing touches to the gallery. And what a Success!! The opening was fun for all, and not just because of the free drinks, we had a raffle where people walked away with plenty of prizes from the collective, a couple of models walked around in clothing from ILL Design (Switzerland) and a gallery that looked brilliant. Our Installations made the front, UmbrellArt throughout and our Canvases and Tagger Bags at the back.

I really would like to thank the other members of the collective. We worked really hard together and pulled it off well together. I couldnt ask for better people and friends to work with, so thank you very much guys!!!

Another big thank you to TRUUS TRENDY for supplying our clothing for the day

Also to Tagger Bags for allowing us to get creative on the bags, and to Impliva for the Umbrellla Sponsorship.
