The Circus-billy Freakout and Art Extravaganza was Blind Mute's first production ever, taking place July 13-14 2007. Thought up by Randy "Randoid" Smith and Dave "PEPE" Petko as a way to bring Whistler's underground visual arts and music scene to the public.
At the time there were not ANY galleries in Whistler for up and coming visual artists to show their work. Our idea was "if you create it , we will show it". We didn't care if it would cause a stir with the viewer, that is what art is supposed to do, cause a reaction, good or bad. Some of us had been censored in the past and felt it was unfair to the artist if work wasn't allowed in a show because of a fear of upsetting someone.
The event took place at Podium Auto Detailing in Function Junction, Whistler (Whistler's industrial park). www.podiumautodetailing.com
