Pop Life: A Tribute 2 Prince
PRESS RELEASE
POP LIFE | A ROYAL TRIBUTE 2 PRINCE
presents GLAM GALLERY featuring:
The Artist,The Gift and His Music
Select works on display by Maya Imani Watson
on June 7, 2017, The Lumen Lounge will be the backdrop for the official annual Prince Day. This celebration of the life of Prince Rogers Nelson was started by business mogul, Craig Alexander who sought after and secured an official Proclamation from Mayor Slyvester Turner designating June 7th as Prince Rogers Nelson Day. This amazing evening presents an amalgamation of creative sensibilities including a PAINT PARTY SOCIAL with featured artist, Maya Imani Watson, the VIP Glam Gallery and a live “Painting of a Prince” to be completed by the Houston artist as well.
Watson painted the painting, The Artist, The Gift and His Music live during last year’s event. At first glance, bright colors and bold brush strokes stretch across the canvas. A visual explosion settles into a mediation series and leaves the viewer to contemplate the auditory genius of Prince through the visual interpretation of this visual artist...beauty through the senses. Says Watson, “ I was struck by the spiritual journey of Prince through his music. He sought to use his gifts to his highest abilties. Blazing his own path, the music and life of Prince are an inspiration to us all.” Viewers will enjoy this multi-sensory experience by Watson and the many other creatives that will showcase their talents. Creatives are encouraged to check out PrinceDayHou.com for the full lineup of DJS, performers, tattoo artists and body art that will be presented. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Watson’s paintings will benefit YesWeCode.org, a nonprofit organization that Prince supported which encourages young people in technology. Art lovers, collectors and those who have a creative spirit can see more of Watson’s art at www.MayaImaniWatson.com. Watson’s PAINT PARTY SOCIAL is completely mobile. Check her website for the summer painting party series.
