CEREAL KILLERS Group Show
Breakfast will never be the same!
The idea of Cereal Killers, came about from a love for cereal, the breakfast of champions, with those lovable characters encouraging each delicious spoonful. Why not take those characters and rework them, rethink them and reimagine them in a different way?
Bil Betsovic pulled together an impressive list of artists from all over the globe to reinterpret their favorite morning cereal characters into their own unmistakable styles.
Please join us on Saturday, June 9th, 4pm-8pm, at Monkeyhouse Toys & Art Gallery, for the opening reception of a very distinct show to celebrate cereal like you've never seen before. Show runs through June 20th.
