As Hip Hop con­tin­ues through its 50th year, a ground-break­ing cel­eb­ra­tion is set to kick off across cit­ies, invit­ing enthu­si­asts of all ages to immerse them­selves in the vibrant world of Hip Hop cul­ture. Spear­headed by DJ 279 aka Num­bers, the event prom­ises an unfor­get­table fusion of art, music, dance, and dia­logue.

The event has so many high­lights like the Hip Hop Paint Party, led by the tal­en­ted @Sal_freckles, an artist renowned for her innov­at­ive approach to Hip Hop-inspired art­work. Par­ti­cipants will embark on a cre­at­ive jour­ney, guid­ing those that attend through the pro­cess of craft­ing an acryl­ic paint­ing on can­vas, inspired by the rich tapestry of Hip Hop cul­ture. The ses­sion, set to a lively soundtrack cur­ated by a live DJ spin­ning clean ver­sions of Hip-Hop clas­sics, prom­ises a dynam­ic and enga­ging atmo­sphere, per­fect for artists of all skill levels.

@Sal_freckles “We wanted to cre­ate an exper­i­ence that cel­eb­rates Hip Hop in all its forms,” says Seduced by Art’s spokes­per­son. “The Hip Hop Paint Party is a test­a­ment to the cul­ture’s endur­ing influ­ence on art and cre­ativ­ity.”
