​

This was first mentioned in the list of prizes for the Threadless T-shirt design competition, so I have kept an eye out for more information since. The Gallery Nucleus website has a blog section entitled "A Tribute to SpongeBob", but there are no details yet - just "Coming soon!"
The gallery will open on July 27th!


Recently, a few artists have posted previews of their work for the show on Twitter/blogs:

Spoiler

I will update this thread with more details when we get them. :)
