New Show Opening April 1, 2016

Glitchy seems like good word to describe the current state of the world. I do not know if it the most accurate description of current work from Michelle and Michael, but it does seem to capture something of the layered, collage-like quality of the most recent pieces from each of them. I hope you can join us on Friday, April 1 to share in a cocktail and take a look at what we have been up to since the new year began.

It is a good night to go out! Chuck Meyers is opening a show of his newest paintings around the corner at Scout, they look amazing.  http://chuckmeyers.com/

And Nicholas Zahn of Degenerate Art Gallery, has created a pop-up gallery a few block north on Clark Street that promises to be a fun show. www.degenerateartgallery.com/

Andersonville is becoming quite the Art Mecca. Hope to see you all.
