Art for a political revolution: artists for Bernie Sanders

Arriving in Boston this weekend is “The Art of a Political Revolution,” a nationally touring exhibition featuring 37 “Artists for Bernie Sanders” — including Shepard Fairey, the street artist behind the iconic Obama Hope poster from the president’s 2008 campaign, and pop art weirdo Ron English, whose mural of Obama as Abraham Lincoln was plastered along Boston’s Harrison Avenue in 2008.

The posters, graphics, paintings and sculptures — including a Muppet version of the Vermont senator made by Los Angeles artist Donny Miller — are just in Boston briefly. An opening reception will be at the Artists for Humanity Epicenter, 100 W. 2nd St., Boston, from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19, with music by DJ Kon, Riobamba, Tigerman Whoa, Big Bear and Yvng Pavl. (Note: Artists for Humanity “was rented out by the organizers of the art exhibition. Artists For Humanity does not endorse our rental clients,” the organization explains.) The exhibit continues there through Sunday, Feb. 21, open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. those two days. Admission to it all is free.
