For 10 years now, Beautiful Angle has created handcrafted letterpress posters. Once a month, these posters get wheat-pasted and stapled in locations around downtown Tacoma in what the two men responsible - graphic designer Lance Kagey and writer Tom Llewellyn - like to call "guerrilla art."
Beautiful Angle's annual holiday party will combine with the opening of their latest show - The Mystery/Myth Folio - with grand results. The annual poster sale gives you, humble gift seeker, a chance to own a piece of the guerrilla action. All proceeds from the poster sale go to Campus MLK's Write 253 program, a free, nonprofit community writing center that aims to help students K-12 with homework, especially writing homework. The evening will feature live music by Kye Alfred Hillig and beer by master brewer Mike Hillis of Grit City Brewing Company. Beautiful Angle's usual holiday party is pretty damn awesome; to celebrate 10 years of a beautiful thing, this year's will be one hell of a party.
The holiday party and exhibit opening will be at Fulcrum Gallery Friday night at 7 p.m.
