This October, The Order Of The Fool are bringing the magic and mysticism of The Tarot to the streets of The Northern quarter.
Street Tarot is an open air, interactive art exhibition. The public are invited to discover a series of artworks which have been installed at 22 carefully selected locations within local bars and shops, including Fred Aldous, Cass Art, Pixel Bar, Ply, Northern Flower, North Tea power, Feel Good Club and Oklahoma!
As participants walk through NQ they are invited to embark on a journey of self-discovery through The Tarot. Each card has a reading, this can be found when scanning the QR code attached to each piece. The first card they find refers to their past, the second is their present and the third is their future.
22 Northern artists came together through their love of psychedelic art and occult symbolism. As the result of a chance finding of a discarded playing card by one of the founding members, they developed the idea for this unusual exhibition.
In a private meeting each artist was asked to pick a card, which they then recreated in their own style. The results were a collection of art unlike no other rendition of Tarot cards.
A traditional exhibition, showing the full collection of artworks can be seen at The Vault, Fierce Bar (Thomas Street)
