Meggs – Art / Aerosol / Design

The much anticipated NoComply Melbourne opening went down with a bang, mega crowds and a killer selection of art. This years was particularly impressive with how far some artists pushed there boards, especially in sculptural directions. This event just gets bigger and better and with plans to go International for 2009-10 it should be huge!

The exhibition runs until the 23rd of Nov in Melbourne, so go check it out if you haven’t already. www.nocomply.com.au
