Vibe is loose at Stabbed in the Art

A modern movement by fringe artists to host their own shows gained popularity a decade ago with 200 Government Street (any young urban professionals remember that?). Then came the ultra-fun, toy-themed Artful Dodger off State Street and later the Backyard Gallery off Nicholson. Now, acquaint yourself with the new “super-cool” art show, Stabbed in the Art. Even less structured than previous artist-hosted shows, Stabbed in the Art’s loose, BYOB vibe is a salon-style show that has tons of local works stacked up in its Garden District Home at 1284 Perkins Rd. near the Garden District Animal Hospital. Friday night. Music by DJ OttO. 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday.
