TONY Baloney's Super Retro Show
We will be hosting a series of art events to honor Francis Connelly aka Tony Baloney/PinPon/Loabie Toebie, etc.
Franny was a beloved member of many communities and subcultures. Whether it be graffiti, printmaking, painting, skateboarding, biking, music, or just being a caring friend, Franny was well known in Pittsburgh and beyond.
We want to continue the legacy that Franny has left behind and unite all of the communities and individuals that he has impacted and will continue to.
Franny always wanted everyone to enjoy their time with each other and wanted people to come together, so there would be no better way to do this than to put on art and music-driven events in his name.
We are fundraising for this series of events and many more to come.
We hope that these events will also allow local artists and musicians to continue to grow their reach and influence.
With the overwhelming amount of people reaching out, asking to financially contribute, we've decided to open this fundraiser. Although all of those involved at this moment have volunteered their time and contributions, we thought we should at least cover the cost of materials and pay the bands for their performances.
Additional funds will be used for future events and programs.
We are in the process of conceptualizing a reoccurring artist residency, honoring Francis, and this would be partially funded by this fundraiser.
