Moving on,

We would like to thank ARTlab and Guerra de la Paz for HOME, and what proved to be a provocative, engaging experience for us and all our visitors. After today, there is one day left to come see the exhibit; the materials of which will never again exist in their current order.








NEXT:



Beginning this weekend, we will be preparing for this year's Ars Nova juried exhibition. Details on student submission will be released shortly.

HOME

After a couple weeks of messy in the gallery, the impressive (I must say) collaboration between ART Lab and Guerra de la Paz is finally presentable and has been for a week. Please come down to the gallery and gander about in the space. The repurposing of what was essentially garbage is really quite clever. You might find that you want to take some of this refuse back home with you...but too bad you can't.

Opening reception, a lot of people!
