Introducing Patrick Rulh, aka @dirty_funq

 

Introducing New Orleans based artist Patrick Rulh (aka @dirty_funq)
Patrick, 26, is an artist based in New Orleans. He came across Portculture from seeing posts on Instagram from artists floating around our society.

“I love this program”

“This gathering has increased the exposure of my art to a wider audience also allowing me to network effectively with a lot of fellow creatives in the city”

“It’s created an environment for me that helps provide a sense of belonging. Everyone I’ve met through Portculture so far has been incredibly genuine and supportive. There’s a lot of love here inspiring me to keep creating”

“I’m greatly influenced by the energy and aesthetics of my surroundings; the small nuances and details in things. Also seeing people create dope things plays a huge role in inspiring me to create. Whether it’s someone crushing a mural or watching somebody do a sick line in a skate video- seeing people push themselves to the limits makes me push harder to improve. All in all having the ability to create is essential to balancing my equilibrium and sense of self fulfillment”

We asked Patrick where does he see himself in the next year pursuing art here his reply was,

“I see myself continuing to network and improve my skills and vision as a creative. I’d like to display my artwork at a variety of venues across the city and also delve into video work a bit more.”

What do you love about New Orleans?

“I love New Orleans for its vibrant energy. Once you spend a substantial amount of time here, everywhere else seems boring. Nowhere else looks or feels like New Orleans.”

We definitely also had to find out what is your favorite Urban South Beer? Holy Roller 🍻

Find @dirty_funq and a collection of other brilliant artists this Saturday here at Urban South- 5 to 9PM we will be presenting a fresh wave of creativity.

Saturday, March 24th 2018 – Our Third Edition Artisans Show & Market

Located along the Mississippi River in New Orleans, Louisiana rests a dedicated society of crafts makers. Throughout the week beer masters get to work daily brewing up some of the finest beer being served up along the Gulf-Coast. It’s when once a month that other emerging talented crafts makers of the arts assemble along side these beer gods under one roof.

When this happens a portal opens up at Urban South Brewery, and we become the gatekeepers. Welcome to Portculture.

We are a society of artists and musicians helping build artistic value by showcasing some of the most talented New Orleans based artists and creators who find themselves inevitably mixed into our network. The greatest gift to the world we could possibly give is creating opportunity for the hard working artist. Portculture began by supporting the dedicated  artist and it’s always carried this mission. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Portculture is a collection of talent. When you make your adventure to New Orleans, we hope you end up scheduling a day to visit the portal we are opening. The Portculture x Urban South art show weekends are turning out to become a majority of the public’s favorite Saturday to discover new artists. We are fulfilling our purpose and it really means a lot to the team and family behind this.

The next artisans show & market is taking place April 21st, 2018. This will be our fourth edition art show. This date is right between French Quarter Fest & Jazz Fest. We look forward to seeing the friends and family who are able to make it out. We imagine a ton of art collectors will be in town, so we hope this becomes a go-to during that time.

Portculture is the arts renaissance of the Gulf-Coast.

RSVP for a facebook reminder here, or email us for a personal reminder at rsvp@portculture.org

#PORTCULTURE IS YOU – #PORTCULTURE IS US – Thank You

This is UNREAL. Thanks for helping us reach well over three thousand views for our site. We’re glad to know we have a consistent audience of nearly four hundred or more views per month. Even this is a number that’s growing. We are in infancy with our site currently. To come this far is remarkable. We want to show love for everyone who is supporting the collective and following our journey. We are very conscious of the impact we have made in less than a year. It’s done through strategy and dedication really.

Giving life to this project has not been easy.  Thanks for making it what it is though. This is completely a D.I.Y. cultural movement that’s been thought on for a very long time. Since 2015.

[Our mission is to bring artists to new levels this year allowing for new performances, new crowds, and more opportunity to meet other liked minded creators who are as equally dedicated or as professional in their craft.]

MAGIC BOX 2 visual

Above is the commercial / promo video for MAGICBOX an art show & The Art Renaissance.
Filmed and edited by member: Evan Thibodeaux
Music by: Friendkerrek & Albert B.

MAGICBOX is a non-traditional art show that hangs artwork from our visual art partners for a month. The theme is usually mystical and esoteric, or float around the edges of dreamy and abstract. The shows are completely done DIY with help from The Rook Cafe.

If you are an artist and interested in being apart of any of our art shows or are looking to have your work at a market place please mail to: art@portculture.org
