Random Artists have been putting on Temporary Autonomous
Art (TAA) shows for over 5 years. Living and working in vacant buildings;
clearing them up and facilitating a three-day open submission art events
for anyone who wants to get involved. Recently the role of Random Artists
have begun initiating international and national networks of TAA shows,

social gatherings, where music, community, art and life all roll into
one.
