‘Stabbed’ again

Announced Monday, Stabbed in the Art is back again and in a new location in Mid City. The inaugural event at 216 South 19th St. (a few blocks up from Circa 1857) happens tonight and it looks to be a welcomed return for the monthly pop-up art market and gallery.

The event was without a home for a few months after leaving the old Tiger District warehouse on Perkins Road in the Garden District. Stabbed in the Art organizers Charles Mouton-Lanphier and Jared Loftus viewed several potential sites for the event around town before narrowing in on the old Book Exchange building on the corner of South 19th and America streets.

Andrew Moran, the building’s owner, converted it into a studio for his salvaged and sustainable woodworking (check him out here).

“We felt that Andrew’s place would be best since he has been working on the building for years with the vision of improving not only that space, but the surrounding community as well, which has more or less become the mission/vision of Stabbed,” Mouton-Lanphier says.

The event starts tonight at 6 p.m. with the gallery opening its doors for artists to hang their work at 1 p.m. For more, check out Stabbed in the Art’s Facebook page.
