ARTS NEWS: NoseGo to liven up Philly AIDS Thrift's new digs

Philly Aids Thrift is teaming up with Philly Side Arts to add a little extra zing to their new storefront in Queen Village.

Philly Side Arts, a website that connects area artists and craft makers to local initiatives and gallery openings, is bringing Philly artist NoseGo to give a painting demonstration this Friday. The piece is expected to be 2 feet by 3 feet and include the Side Arts logo. “NoseGo often likes to take pieces of existing art and put in his own new colors [and] characters,” says President and Side Arts founder Todd Hestand of the locally based artists who typically mixes fine art and grafitti to concoct his signature creations.

Philly Aids Thrift, a nonprofit business that distributes all proceeds to 30 different HIV/AIDS service organizations, recently moved from Bainbridge Street to a new department store-sized location around the corner. “It’s a great looking store,” Hestand says, “and they have lots of wall space, so we’re hoping to do more with other artists.” The new store is already open for business and is always accepting donations and volunteers to help them move into their new location before the upcoming grand opening celebrations.

Fri. July 1, 6-8 p.m., free, Philly Aids Thrift, 710 S. Fifth St., 215-922-3186, phillyaidsthrift.com.
