We have a short schedule at the gallery today. Closing at 2pm so that John W. can join his bandmates in Mars in Spring to play a show at Walker World Spookyfest. Sometimes carrying on the legacy of two creative parents means you get to spend a cool October evening in the woods playing your music.

We are sorry we missed you at the gallery today, and we hope you will try to visit again. If you want to attend Spookyfest, get your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1998377576125?aff=oddtdtcreator
