NWAADC Shares Bad Things with Marc Burckhardt on March 30th, 2007

NWAADC Shares Bad Things with Marc Burckhardt
March 30, 2007 at the Dickson Street Theater
Doors open at 6:30 and event starts at 7:30.













Bad things are good for Marc Burckhardt’s creativity. Which is good for us by extension. If you’ve ever wondered what a Byzantine Icon of George Washington being eaten by a tyrannosaurus would look like, then the NWAADC has a show you must attend! If you’ve never wondered what such a thing would look like, and aren’t intrigued by the idea - then we question your status as a creative. (Hmmph.)

Marc Burckhardt picked up a pencil when he was a child, but he never stopped drawing. Today, he lives in Austin, Texas, and cannot create unless his miniature Schnauzer, Diva is present. Diverse influences such as the Mexican folk-art, Byzantine icons, Johnny Cash, and English sporting paintings lend a unique style to this historical painter of contemporary culture – who skewers consumerism and American culture with sarcasm, humor, and the occasional dinosaur fang.

His work has been commissioned by clients that include M&C Saatchi, Volkswagen, Rolling Stone, TIME, SONY Records, the New York Times, and Major League Baseball. His paintings have been exhibited at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the Experience Music Project in Seattle. They are featured in the book “The Greatest Album Covers that Never Were,” and can be found in the private collections of Oprah Winfrey, Ralph Lauren, Rolling Stone publish Jann Wenner and the late Johnny Cash.

On March 30, the Northwest Arkansas Art Directors Club will host Marc Burckhardt at the Dickson Street Theater. Doors open at 6:30 and event begins at 7:30. $5 for Members and Students. $15 for Non-Members. STUDENT MEMBERS GET IN FREE!

Come out to the Dickson Street Theater on March 30th!
