We held a wonderful Opening Reception on March 2, 22023 with excellent attendance and response to the exhibition.
We also hosted a special “ArT PaRtY” on March 23, 2023 with an opportunity to meet the artists and hear more about their artistic process.
This exhibition was such an honor to curate with such a talented duo of Arizona artists. Their artworks are powerful, important and original. I look forward to working further with these artists and expanding on this exhibition’s concepts. Until then …Thank you for your ”An Intimate Look In”!
