BLOC28 is an art-based program with traditional works on canvas and board as the inspiration, and to see how contemporary artists work together with an art company like Disney.

To see their interpretations of the most iconic cartoon character of all time mixing with the standard interpretations of Mickey over the years may have more impact on the overall contemporary arts culture than we can foresee at this time. That unknown quality with these collaborations makes the program more exciting than what has become the norm.

The first series of artists included Steven J. Daily, David P. Flores, Mear One, Greg “Craola” Simkins, and Slick.

October ’08, The second series of artists included Aroe, Chaz Bojorquez, Ewok, Rime, Tenga, and Suiko.
