Brian Feldman Projects Relocating to D.C.

Brian Feldman, best known for leaping off a ladder 366 times over 24 hours, is an award-winning conceptual artist, and the recipient of the 2011 State of Florida Individual Artist Fellowship. There are only a few art circles who have not heard the name of Brian Feldman. Unfortunately, Brian is relocating to Washington, D.C. on February 13th after spending close to 24 years in Orlando. Brian is set to complete his final three Orlando projects in early February: "#48hYardSale," "The Skill Crane Kid 1st Birthday Party," and "Brian Feldman's Under the Covers." Brian encourages you to attend his final three projects, and here they are below. (Please note that the final project, "Brian Feldman's Under the Covers," was a ticketed event distributed through ArtsFest. These tickets are no longer available.)
