Intrinzic and AIGA, the professional association for design, have joined together to support INK BLEEDS 3, the biennial gallery show that features poster art from the most audacious and provocative artists throughout the region. INK BLEEDS 3 happens at the Art Academy of Cincinnati on Friday, November 18, 2011. 

It’s a cool night immersed in art, music, culture, and community. The show features 11 artists nationally renowned for their work in design, illustration, and print making, and each artist will create three custom IB3 posters to be raffled off that night. Entrance is free, but for a $10 donation that benefits AIGA students, guests receive an event poster print signed by artists Rob Warnick and Keith Neltner, a raffle ticket, and two drink tickets. This year’s event poster is a collaboration and true infusion of Rob Warnick's whimsy and the gritty earthiness of Keith Neltner.

 New art will also be created in real-time at the event. Guests are invited to a ‘live draw,’ where they put their pens to work to create their own INK BLEEDS 3 print. The night will also have a live soundtrack, with performances from The Mighty, Ghost Trees, and A Decade to Die For. A face painter will be on site to emblazon a ‘third eye’ on guests who are up for it. And food for the event will be specially prepared by Kaldi’s.

In addition to his work in the music industry and beyond, Keith Neltner is an Associate Creative Director at Intrinzic, which was the inspiration to bring together the agency and the event. “A key part of our brand at Intrinzic is to stay on the front edge of design, and that means drawing inspiration and influence from modern art, music, theater… whatever’s out there,” says Neltner. “We’re loving this chance to cross tracks with other artists and place a stake in the larger design community. And, who knows? Maybe influence some future Zs.”
