Press Release
RaiseUp Group Show
Saturday, October 8th
8p.m. - 1a.m.
15th Street, Ybor


RaiseUp is the first art book published by UpSceneMagazine.com. RaiseUp is 44 full-color pages featuring the work of 27 International artists. This includes a hand full of local artists as well as artists from Italy, New York, Netherlands, UK and many more. The concept behind RaiseUp is lack of boundaries. Submissions were judged based on style only. If their sample work was accepted the artist was free to submit ANYTHING to be printed in the book. A limited-edition of 1,000 books were printed, hand-numbered and signed.

To celebrate this one-of-a-kind publication, there will be a large group show taking place on Saturday, October 8th from 8p.m. -1a.m. in the space next door to the Laughing Cat restaurant on 15th street in Historic Ybor City. THIS IS A ONE-NIGHT ONLY SHOW. UpScene is not taking commissions of artwork, and when work is sold it will be available to be taken home the very next day! Copies of RaiseUp, which are also available for sale online at upscenemagazine.com, will be sold the night of the show. DJ Sumatra will join the party at 11:30 mixing it hard and soft.

Don't miss this special opportunity to see our local artists latest works alongside a hand-picked selection of International artists.
