From visual arts writer Nick Smith:
Looks like the decision to hold The Munny Show during the first week of Piccolo was right on the money. The B’Zar Boutique-curated alternative art show, held at 53 Cannon Gallery on May 27, was popular enough to spark talk of another outing for the 8-inch solid white vinyl character who looks like a freshly flayed Teletubby.
Over 25 artists used Munny as a non-conventional canvas at the 53 Cannon Gallery exhibition, painting or adapting the creature to their own ends. An end-of-show auction raised around $2,000 for theCharleston County School of the Arts, with one lucky Munny selling for $350. No wonder manufacturers Kidrobot have gotten enthused, hoping to become more involved with the next local Munny party.
