In honor of the icon, the Queen, the diamond herself, Dolly Parton. She may be gone, but her legend lives on. And we will forever be grateful for the legacy of music, kindness, and love she leaves on this earth.

“If you knew Time as well as I do...you wouldn’t talk about wasting it.”

Months of hard work, weeks of preparation, and 3 glorious days of shows. Wonderland?! was a Wonder-full, new and rewarding experience for us all. If only we could go back in time, down that rabbit hole all over again!

Image Descriptions:
1: A spacious art gallery full of people. Some are circled around a central table with snacks and plates. Some are in private conversations. Some are seated and looking at the artwork hanging on the walls. A wall of windows spits the walls in the middle letting in a glow of sunlight.
2: Another view of a spacious art gallery full of people. This one is looking down the gallery long-ways. Folks are chatting with each other, plating snacks, and looking at artwork on the walls.
3: A different angle of the gallery. A small group has gathered around a couple of paintings and are looking at them. Some other folks in the foreground are conversating. Others in the distance are looking at art.
4: A quick video scanning the gallery while an artist speaks on the microphone. Everyone is gathered and facing the speaker, listening attentively.

Check out this badass crew of artists! 👀🔥

Took some group shots a little while back in preparation for “Taking Up Space” Gibbes Museum of Art and wanted to share a few more! Shout out to building_64 for letting us use your space!!

Join us for the opening reception of “Taking Up Space” this Friday, July 17th, 5-8pm! 🙌🎨🖼️

Image Descriptions:
All photos are black and white.
1: A large group of artists sit on and surrounding a couch. Some are sitting on the ground and some stand behind the couch. It’s a fun and friendly vibe where some folks have their arms around each other or are leaning close to the person near them. They are in a huge warehouse setting with exposed metal beams weaving through the ceiling. Some walls line the sides of the background while scattered tables and chairs fill the middle space.
2: A large group of artists are posed in front of a huge installation by Shepard Fairey. Some are standing, some sitting in chairs, and some sitting on the ground. Most have serious faces and some are smiling.
3: A large group of artists are posed on a stage with a HEART logo on the big screen behind them. There are large stage lights lined behind them. Some folks have their arms in the air and some have their arms around each other. There are three rows: standing, sitting on speakers, and sitting on the floor.
