(LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- Inspired Life Studios is pleased to present the closing reception for "Urban Canvas", an art show featuring a sampling of artists from the mural & street art initiative that began on South Broadway in Long Branch earlier this month. The work of these artists will be on display for this final night, Friday, September 10th, from 7:30pm to 11:30pm, accompanied by live music by the local Jazz/Funk Band, Sunny Daze. This event is free and open to the public. A short talk and walking tour of the murals in progress will also be available at 7pm, weather permitting. Those interested in this will meet in front of the former Siperstein's location at 128 Broadway in Long Branch.

The Long Branch Arts Council kicked off the Urban Canvas Project in early August with the help of Inspired Life Studios' curator/owner, Chris Murphy. The artists in the show include Jason Sisino, Lee Alston, Andrew Ricci, Leon Rainbow, Jonathan Conner, members of the Albus Cavus Group, Ronnie Jackson, and Rev.Chris Murphy, herself. This is an ongoing project, that will eventually cover 50 abandoned buildings on Lower Broadway, as an attempt to bring beauty and culture with a modern "edge", to an otherwise dilapidated area. Sipperstein's Paints helped make this possible by generously donating all the paint and materials that all of the artists are using for the project. This show, hosted by Inspired Life Studios, is just a taste of the great things to come in Long Branch!
