During mid August in San Francisco we watched preparations for KAABOO a ‘mixperience’ festival that was set to begin on September 18th at Del Mar south of Los Angeles. Amanda Lynn along with other San Francisco based artists painted several immense canvas that were temporarily hung on Market at 8th St for installation at stages and entrances to the festival. KAABOO recently released press about the festival that was curated by San Francisco based Amanda Lynn and showcased many San Francisco Bay Area artists.

KAABOO Del Mar recently proudly announced the unprecedented success of its KAABOO ArtworK Experience — a massive array of fine art, street art, and sculptural movements from renowned contemporary artists, galleries, and organizations that traveled to Del Mar, California from around the globe. The festival’s ArtworK component included eye-catching fine art design on entryways, structures, and KAABOO’s seven stages that hosted over 100 bands, including headliners No Doubt, The Killers, and Zac Brown Band. In addition, ten thirty-foot-tall custom, hand-painted canvas murals towered over crowds, commanding viewplanes throughout the fairgrounds. KAABOO Del Mar proved its intention to become a force in the contemporary art scene, showcasing art as a dominant element of the entire KAABOO ‘mixperience,’ unlike any other festival in the world.

The inaugural ArtworK experience featured an art fair, live mural painting, intricate sculpture installations, live canvas work, and unique pop-up exhibitions by globally acclaimed artists and galleries such as: Aaron Glasson, Amandalynn, Apex, Brendan Monroe, Celeste Byers, David Young V, Dirty Bandits, Distinction Gallery, Erik Otto, HOT TEA, Hueman, Ian Ross, Jade Rivera, Jet Martinez, Kamea Hadar, Kelly Ording, Lucien Shapiro, Luna Rienne Gallery, Marcas Gallery, Minka Sicklinger, N.C. Winters, 111 Minna Gallery, Pangeaseed, Rocha Art, Tatiana Suarez, Victor Roman, and many more.

The overall experience reached exciting, new boundaries due to the expansive artistic vision of KAABOO’s Art Director and featured artist, San Francisco-based artist Amandalynn.

“I feel incredibly fortunate to be given the opportunity to curate and participate in such an amazing event,” remarked Amandalynn. “The passion and dedication of every artist, gallery, and muralist involved showed a collective desire to physically express the importance of visual arts,” she added.

Working alongside the exceptional design team of Joe Styles and Marian Morioka, Amandalynn sought to push the envelope, creating a unique, in-depth look into a massive array of contemporary fine art, street art, and sculptural movements. Her creative vision and execution, showcased alongside KAABOO Del Mar’s world-class music, incredible cuisine, craft libations, and personal indulgences, spawned more buzz than the festival could have imagined for just one of their six ‘Experiences.’

KAABOO ArtworK is on the verge of what is soon to be a massive artistic explosion, proving that visual stimulation is an undeniable necessity in creating a truly encompassing experience in the festival world.
