"The inaugural "Pizza Box Art Show" is a production of the Art of the Bay Collective, a group of creatives that stage art popups and community activities throughout the East Bay. (The collective just opened its first retail store/art studio in the Niles district of Fremont, called Cassa Jam - check it out next time you're around.) The main show will run just that one night."
"The show features more than two-dozen artworks executed on pizza boxes, an unlikely canvas whose modern form was invented by Domino's in the 1960s. These are not large boxes, rather the personal 8-by-8 inch containers. The subject matter for the paintings ranges from lovably freakish monsters to cartoon characters to stranger things (think, anthropomorphic ninja pepperoni). Slimer from "Ghostbusters" is represented, chowing down on an ooey-gooey slice."
An art event on Nov. 14 in Hayward will spotlight artworks painted on 8-by-8 pizza boxes at Rayo's Pizza on Mission Blvd. The exhibition is produced by the Art of the Bay Collective, which recently opened Cassa Jam, a retail store and art studio in Fremont's Niles district. The main show runs one night, with unsold boxes remaining in the restaurant for viewing and purchase afterward. Inspiration came from a paint-your-own-pizza-box meetup earlier in the year that encouraged participants to create any design. The show features more than two dozen boxes with subjects ranging from monsters to pop-culture characters.
