[G3] has arrived

The Facebook event explains:
Wear White Jerseys to participate in the pristine revelry of [G3]. Markers and UV Paint will be provided to illuminate your nightlife. Each interaction will be tilted over the edge by premium liquor at your fingertips. Capture each moment in words, phrases and scribbles on clothes and preserve your 6 hour euphoria for a lifetime.
So for those who still don't get it, lets see.... What IS this Graffiti Experience?

Graffiti is JAP INC
The entire Graffiti experience is set to the backdrop of authentic Graffiti Art strung across steams of cloth and life sized plyboard. Imagine wondering around the venue, allowing your mind to wonder as the art forces your imagination into the fringes.

Graffiti is BODY ART Caribbean
This year, Body Art Caribbean will host a Graffiti Lounge complete with couches for the comfort of patrons. In addition to this artiste Mello will be on hand to airbrush anything any young lady would want on their skin for FREE. Yes folks, for FREE.

Graffiti is ULTIMATE ART
So I want a customized Jersey, with my crews name on it what to do? Walk right up to the Ultimate Art booth and get whatever you want sprayed on your jersey! The price depends on what you want but stencils are FREE.

Graffiti is YOU
Word of Mouth only leads to the perfect blend of university and working class youngsters. All eager to meet, greet and bus ah flex on one another! Not like traditional parties, no need to shout over loud music, write what you need to say!
Graffiti is White
This is the most ironic element of Graffiti, because by the time the event is over, nothing will be white. The concept of Graffiti entails all patrons wear white clothes (Jerseys, Shorts etc) and patrons use markers and write over each other.

Graffiti is Ultraviolet 
How low can you glow? Since 2010, we never stopped glowing! UV Paint will be provided to allow each patron to make a statement, better yet, a hand print on another's jersey. Don't worry about backlash from the girlfriend, these marks can only be seen under a blacklight.

Graffiti is the EEEmpire
So I don't understand what all those EEE-s stand for. Look around on the day and you will understand. Their is entertainment, and then their is entertainment everything! Come see the difference on May 29th!

Graffiti is a BELLY FULL

The Graffiti Art Show: Week 1

Graffiti has returned to the city of Port of Spain!
The award winning show is here. Critics said:
"A Riveting experience", "JAP is just divine when he touches white", "If all parties were like Graffiti i'd never need a phone book for phone numbers!"

The graffiti experience is not only an event created for the enjoyment of patrons but also for budding graffiti and graphics artists, writers, photographers. It allows for the entire behind the scenes cast some time behind the camera to receive exposure from marketing the event and simultaneously themselves.

The ART Show
One of Kalifa's Digital Paintings
For the past six weeks the entire cast of the Graffiti experience has been working tirelessly towards the organisation of the Graffiti Art Show. This show is a tour from local college to college lasting an entire month, displaying art by local artists and breaking towards improvement of marketing the event with each New Year and concept.
The actual organising of the art show was surprisingly simple. The tasks included getting the necessary permission from each institution getting the support of the national museum who volunteered equipment and rounding up the artist to get their stuff together. The first art show was held at COSTAATT City Campus’ cafeteria. With good music, beautiful displays, fun enthusiastic organisers and a visit from Mr. Box head himself the entire vibe was one of pure excitement and anticipation  for the main event. After COSTAATT, the next stop was UWI. Getting the art show on at U.W.I. specifically started off a bit shakier than at costaatt but besides the minor glitches the event went quite well. The main objectives were met, basically to give the art propulstion into student life and inject some word of mouth about Graffiti 3 on its way.

THE ARTIST
They say he could draw anything
Sonielle Rahim ,a talented female artist and a bubbly newbie to the artiste cast.With her talents she is an exception to the stereotype that only men graffiti.
Kalifa Damani is  a skilful sketch artist, photographer and UWI psychology student. The empire wishes to invite any interested artist to contact them if they are interested in setting up their own booth at the event.                                                                                      
Isiah Lindsey is JAP INC. ..What we meant to say was... The art show featured art by local artist and graffiti experience veteran Isiah “Jap” Lindsey. Isiah has been a part of “Graffiti” from the beginning. After the use of his talents at the first Graffiti photo shoot in 2009, his  publicity sky rocketed and his undeniable skills were acknowledged by the masses. In an interview, Jap explained that for him it has been a pleasure being supported by 3E with the opportunity to display his work at all Graffiti parties to date. He said, "The art show this year being at different locations has really done a lot to promote Graffiti and the art I do." The EEEmpire hopes that through the development of a "Graffiti Village" a lot more artist would come towards with their artistic contributions and have the opportunity to expose their art to hundreds of patrons. This will to the benefit and greater good of the Graffiti art form and give this art form its  much deserved respect and acknowledgment. The Graffiti Village refers to a large area of booths at the upcoming Graffiti event. These booths will have anything from pineapple chow to airbrush artiste.

Up next for the art show is a stop at UTT


I see GRAFFITI in your future!

[G3] The Concept: The world is your canvas

Graffiti has been around since the beginning of time. Cavemen used to write their history and beliefs on the walls of caves. Later, Graffiti was used by self taught artists to mark gang territories, to make political statements and to simply express themselves by creating large murals on walls with airbrush paint. It is not vandalism, it is art. We took this art form and combined it with the innate feeling of all Trinbagonians and created The Graffiti Experience..
Memoirs of Graffiti 1
Stefan Guevara “Basically, it is the freedom of expression and freedom of choice where you are not held down by rules of a typical nightlife. It is about living, moving art. It is about an atmosphere you won’t soon forget. It is getting upset about when the DJ says ‘last song’. It is about having the elements of a rave meeting high school reunion meeting fete combined with friends and family, in one big all-out experience that is Graffiti. That is the Graffiti Experience.”

[G3] Presents one with an opportunity for one night to write on complete strangers’ t-shirts, pants and shirts. This provides 'the perfect avenue' to meet new people or gather a few phone numbers or Blackberry pins. By the time you get home, the clean white T for example, will be an art piece. A keepsake

The Graffiti College Experience was the pilot episode of the Graffiti Franchise and Ken Sambury sums it up with saying it was "the perfect start to a colourful future"
Karien and Stefan glowing in 2010
Memoirs of Graffiti 2
Karien Saunders “G2 was so epic that I’m angry I missed the first one. Not only was it drinks and dancing as any ordinary party, they combined it with glow sticks, black lights, airbrush and not to forget, the markers that made it extraordinary” 

Graffiti Kaleidoscope is the 3rd instalment and this year our concept seeks to combine colours at an outdoor venue. Patrons are expected to express themselves with markers while enjoying the highest quality of entertainment.

Josh Brizan expressed his thoughts on where he sees the future of Graffiti to be, “I'm hoping that it develops and becomes way more than just a concept party. I'd like it to be something that people can fly in just to attend.”

And we say to you Josh - Soon, Very Soon!
