EXHIBIT NH7 – Art At The Bacardi NH7 Weekender

EXHIBIT NH7 is an exercise to give Bacardi NH7 Weekender a relevant design language that stands true and pure to the ideology behind the festival.

As a part of EXHIBIT NH7, some leading visual artists will come together to paint four huge canvasses (8 feet by 5 feet) inspired by the festival. They will be creating this art live during the days of the festival; so festival-goers can drop by at any time to see how the works are progressing. These artworks will be on sale on the last day of Bacardi NH7 Weekender.

We also have a huge community wall where anyone coming to the festival can express themselves (please try not to suck though), and will also be selling limited-edition art prints at the festival. Check out a sneak preview below.
