We are a diverse collective comprised of artists, designers, musicians, writers, and many others who have been working together to actively redefine the stale conventions of the traditional art gallery through the radical integration of creative practice, community engagement and unabashed celebration.
The Upper Six Hundreds create their elaborate group shows on virtually no monetary budget. Most materials used are donated, recycled or accumulated waste that society so easily disposes of. The artists meet multiple times a week to plan and erect alternative gallery spaces, which hardly remind you of your traditional art viewing experience. Instead, this collective is driven exclusively by the pure inspiration of allowing people to fully experience art as it is set it free into a space of liberating expression of over-stimulating visuals and sounds.
