Join us at Stamps Gallery on Thursday, January 16, 2025 from 6-8 p.m. for the opening reception of The Stampede.Born from their passion for the arts, The Stampede is a student-led organization building a new space for artists. In September 2023, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work, with food, drink, and music, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved, developed an infrastructure, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.
Today, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists, writers, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks, promotional materials, and merchandise for their events.
This exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins, current endeavors, and future aspirations. Since its inception, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.
Join The Stampede in their journey; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!
