BACKGROUND
Black & Blue is an Artist Run Initiative providing a space for young and emerging interdisciplinary artists, performing artists, curators, upstart bands and sound artists. The gallery was developed to facilitate the need for more quality-focused spaces that support young and emerging artists in the community. The warehouse conversion consists of 4 studios and the gallery located in the front of the space. In 2008, the first year of operation, the space showed a total of 14 exhibitions. A focus on interpersonal transactions that comes with showing at Black & Blue has resulted in the gallery becoming a furtive environment for artists whose networks and associations pollinate as the gallery connects and shares it networks with its new artist friends
