Urban in ibiza’s 2018 exhibition ‘Exodus’confirmed for Heart Ibiza

Since it first took the island by storm back in 2009, URBAN IN IBIZA has been a staple in the Ibiza calendar, picking up awards, international recognition, an army of staunch fans and much acclaim along the way of its ten years on the island. Now, as it approaches its decade edition, organisers have announced that this year, they have teamed up with exclusive island venue, HEART Ibiza, for the unveiling of their 2018 exhibition on Saturday, August 4th from 21.00h- 06.00h.

Having already proved itself to be light years ahead when it comes to showcasing the best in contemporary culture through the mediums of urban art/fashion/music, this year looks to be no exception. With one huge exception! It has also been confirmed that this tenth series of events, aptly entitled ‘EXODUS’will be Urban in Ibiza’slaston the island for the present time.

A massive blow for any discerning urban art junkie- and the perfect excuse not to miss this year’svisual & aural offering from the event’sbaby-daddy and curator, Paul Dizzi Saunders.

With a total of four pop-up EXODUS exhibitions planned across the month at HEART Ibiza, dates are confirmed as Saturdays 4th,11th,18th & 25th August, giving ample opportunity to view and purchase the latest works from London’sWestbank Gallery and its stable of artists.

This particular exhibition will feature artists including K-Guy, Jim Starr, Ben Allen, RYCA, Cosmo Sarsen, Paul McGowan, Carne Griffith, Carrie Reichart and many more- with artworks on rotation over the course of the month-long residency at HEART.

To mark the launch event, internationally renowned artists Inkie, Fin Dac and Ben Slow will take to the canvas on the night with a live paint, each bringing their own brand of artistic charm and creative flair to the proceedings. It’saperfect combination of artists and styles for this particular show; the same three having played massive roles in the Urban in Ibiza concept since its beginnings way back when. Also forming partof the show this year, the latest pieces from the Urban in Ibiza jewellery range, ‘CHARMEDOFFENSIVE’.

A much loved and talked about event, Urban in Ibiza has been hailed 'a truly unique night in Ibiza’ssocial calendar and a huge success' by Vogue Magazine, and whilst many have tried to emulate its vision and success over the years, none have come close to equalling its inimitable style and originality. Over the years, it has served as the launch pad for the careers of many previously unknown artists and designers, who have since gone on to much greater things. It has brought an hugely impressive hoard of urban art in all its forms to the island, not to mention its highly memorable musical line-ups (who can ever forget Roots Manuva?!) and its forward-thinking fashion shows (Tom Vanderborght, anyone?).

The desire to keep things fresh and join forces with a new venue for its final year sees Urban teaming up with a brand they recognise as a perfect fusion. HEART Ibiza, with its roots also firmly planted in the arts, not to mention its unrivalled level of production and endless creativity, was the perfect choice.
