Arturo Vega exhibit extended at Howl!

You now have more time to check out the current exhibition at Howl! Happening — "Arturo Vega: the merch master" ... the show has been extended several weeks through June 14, after drawing plenty of attention and visitors.

The show, which opened on April 9, explores the work and legacy of the late Arturo Vega, the longtime creative force behind the Ramones' visual identity. 

Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Howl! Happening is at 6 E. First St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery. 

Meanwhile, Howl! will also host a free screening tomorrow night of "A Certain Ratio — Live at Hurrah, Sept. 12, 1980," a 45-minute live club film by Merrill Aldighieri featuring discussions with band member Martin Moscrop. 

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the film starting at 7 p.m. Aldighieri will introduce the screening, while her silent animation loop, Wallflowers, will play beforehand. 

And because no one asked, our favorite piece here is this painting that Vega commissioned from Richard Hambleton in 2004...

Because no one asked again, our fave A Certain Ratio is here.

    Thanks for the reminder today. I just went over there and had a fun hour looking at all the cool Ramones merch/art and learning more about the artist. The staff guy there was very nice too.
