Oct 25, 2024 7–10 PM
This year’s theme, Phantasms, Ghosts, Specters, takes inspiration from our Main Gallery exhibition, In Memory, which explores the haunting duality of memories—how they resurface from the past only to fade, despite our effort to preserve them.
Celebrate the opening of three new exhibitions by Ian Burnley, Jean Richardson, and James Talbot and visit the studios of artists-in-residence Holly Rios, Brooklynn Johnson, Kellie Bornhoft, and Sara Serratos, while enjoying an evening filled with activities, including:
🥂 Cash bar
🎧 Music by DJ Bo York
🔮 Tarot Card Readings
📸 Photo Booth
