Gallery Lombardi is pleased to present 9 Canadian artists whose painting and drawing skills have garnered international acclaim and commissions. Curated by Patrick Thompson and Felix Berube, “Poutine Never Sleeps” is a
reference to a work ethic and the food. Poutine is cheese curds and gravy on french fries; it can be purchased 24 hours a day in Montreal where these artists live. It is cheap food like the Don Juan Taco.

The gallery event will launch both the art exhibit and the weekend long, 10 year anniversery of B-Boy City 15 National Battle and Hip Hop Festival. Romeo Navarro and crew will demonstrate breakdancing alongside the graffiti stylings of these fine artists.
