Another First Friday in the books 🎨💛

Last night we welcomed Train Song by Michael Perkin to the gallery and spent the evening surrounded by art, conversation, and some pretty great people. (Micheal is pictured holding up the peace sign ✌️)

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see the new exhibition and spend a little bit of their Friday night with us!

Train Song will be on display throughout October, so there’s still plenty of time to stop by and see it for yourself.
