The 3rd Annual Love Show Opening!!! Dear God, was that insane!

Oh. My. God.
What can I say? Thank you doesn’t even come close.

Congratulations to everyone who performed and showed work in this years Love show, especially all of you first-time exhibitors! You did it! Make sure that you come back during open hours this month so that you can actually see the art without having to weave your way through 300 people…

We’re open Tuesday-Friday, 3-6 & Sunday 12-3pm

There are so many great pieces in the Love show with this year, and with the momentum present at the opening last night, I know that it’s only going to get better and better. For those of you who came to the opening, you witnessed the work of so many hands, and along with giving thanks to everyone who volunteered, I want to extend the invitation to everyone out there who loved the opening to just take the plunge and get involved the next time you have the opportunity to contribute to some big crazy, art event- as an organizer, I can honestly tell you that even the smallest contribution of time makes all the difference in the world.
