Thank you to everyone that came out to the opening of ‘Thanatopsis: A Meditation on Grief, Death, and Transition’. We had a fantastic turnout and are so humbled by the community support.

We wanted to give you some quick updates:
The gallery will be closed from Saturday, December 20th through January 4th. We will be having special hours next week, so be on the lookout for that update!
