The Firehouse Art Center - The Out of the Box Show

The Out of the Box Show is opening on January 3rd for a one night only event. The Firehouse Art Center, a downtown Longmont gallery, will be taking the art off the walls to make room for a runway and circle mosh pit. The night kicks off with an avant garde fashion show featuring local designers at 6pm with the music following from 7pm-10pm, featuring three punk bands, “Soneffs”, “Aratik” and “We Are All Crooks”. UHaul moving trucks and food trucks will be parked along 4th Avenue, which will be closed to traffic. Inside the moving trucks will be curated Mobile Art Galleries, with most trucks hosting solo artist immersive art experiences.

The Mobile Art Gallery not only challenges conventions of display but also reaffirms art’s capacity to move through spaces, communities and ideas. The trucks represent a way to break down barriers, make art accessible to a broader audience, and create environments that feel approachable, without the intimidation an art gallery might hold.
