FriendsWithYou and Native Shoes team up for a new exhibit at The Hole Gallery

FriendsWithYou and Native shoes first met during Art Basel in 2009. They worked together on a presentation called Rainbow City and it’s been a magical colorful love ever since. Continuing their relationship in New York, Native Shoes is pairing up with FriendsWithYou for their first NYC solo show, titled “:)” at The Hole Gallery. The exhibit will feature a cosmic rainbow paradise of interactive sculptures and paintings and a Pop-Up Shop featuring an installation of colorful characters and integrated displays featuring the Native Spring 2011 collection. We caught up with the Global Marketing Director of Native, Shawna Olsten to talk about the exhibit and see what the Native family (who is from Vancouver, BC) will be up to and eating during their visit in New York.

“:)” presented by FriendsWithYou and Native Shoes will open this Thursday June 9th and run through the summer until August 6th
