Guerrilla Marketing, "Bag of Free Art"- Something for nothing is his brand. We all were standing outside of Art Miami, and John Bambino walked up to our sidewalk gathering spot. RM, and Dy Seven of BAIA, Lavon Pettis and I were toasting before we went into inhale art. "James Brown" was on the stereo. Need I say more.
Before John departed to heading to Wynwood, and other art happenings, he invited each of us to reach into his bag and grab an original piece of
3. Free Stuff, is one of the strategy's that Guerrilla marketers strongly use to promote business. Free swag always gets people’s attention. Slap your logo or website or other branding materials on something fun and people will happily take it home. Pens, t-shirts, refrigerator magnets…it can be anything.

The potential for guerrilla marketing ideas is really only limited by your imagination. Think of it as a sort of performance art. If you can dream up some free item that’s somehow related to your business and also fun for the customer, then you’ve got a winner.

In February
1968, Professor Leroy Leonardo Ramsey set up a Black History exhibit at Nassau
Community College, in celebration of Black History Month. At February’s end,
the exhibit was left in place (due to popular demand) and Professor Ramsey used
his personal collection of artifacts to change the exhibit from time to
time. Before long, the exhibit outgrew its space and he established the
Black History Exhibit Center in a store front at 106-A Main Street, in
Hempstead. In 1984, Nassau County purchased the building at 110 North
Franklin Street and Professor Ramsey’s Black History Exhibit Center became the
African American Museum of Nassau County and moved into 110 North Franklin in
1985.
TAAM is one
of only two African American museums in the northeast. (The other African
American Museum is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.)
The African
Atlantic Genealogical Society, Inc. (TAAGS) became affiliated with the museum
in 1998; making the African American Museum unique as the first museum to house
a genealogical society that provides workshops and consultations for the
community.
Under
management of TAAGS, the museum provides programming that includes art exhibits
and art education, genealogical and historical research, themed exhibits that
focus on historical figures and events.
Ernani
Silva was born in Rio de Janeiro, where he encountered many adversities. At an
early age of four Ernani displayed artistic talent, but his father discouraged
any involvement with the arts. He welcomed the opportunity to relocate to the
United States, where he was further encouraged as an artist. Ernani is
multi-lingual and well-regarded in an international audience.
Silva developed
a distinctive style which reflects his Brazilian cultural influence of Native,
African lineage. His creations are an amalgam of dance, rhythm, music and color
which voice his rich mystical heritage and history. Silva is passionately
attracted to the expression and emotion of his traditional music and the
spiritualism of Candomble ceremonies and rituals. Silva’s palette is the
alchemy of intoxicating opaque colors, as well as incorporating the use of
heavy impression to create vibrant lyrical dancing figures.

FAN FAVORITE VICTORIA FULLER ARTIST IN ABSTRACT RHYTHM AND BLUES-
"Art is Business"-
He uses plastic clothes hangers to create figures and large geometric shapes. Sometimes he uses heat manipulation to alter the shapes of the plastic objects. Hicks wants to impart in the viewer a sense of magic and wonder about the world around them. The use of commonplace objects creates that sense.
Abstract Rhythm and Blues: Keep Bring The Funk! was the theme for the Phantom Gallery Chicago this Art Basel, this Cubist Guitar sculpture, by artist Victoria Fuller was a Fan Favorite during the Art Africa Miami Basel in Overtown, at the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex.
This project was coordinated by the Urban Collective, and Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau

Alan Emerson Hicks' artwork is influenced by our society and magic. His sculptures use plastic discarded objects and American detritus to create objects that comment on what our society finds important. He is drawn to plastic material because of its weight and variety of colors. Plastic bottle caps and rings become colorful towers that reflect the architecture, engineered structures, and religious relics.
