$5 Suggested Donation | Libations provided by Black Bear Microbrew for 21+ art supporters (must have valid ID).
A few words from the artist:
When I happened upon this building in metamorphosis, I was immediately entranced. There was a permanence and gravity to these structural fragments, having endured so much time, yet I was equally struck by the ephemeral nature of the space. I stood in the expansive darkness,
sheltered within its century old walls. I watched fractured light spill from the windows and illuminate broken floorboards, rubble, and relic. With my camera, I wanted to capture these luminous ephemeral traces. I hope you enjoy the show. Thank you.
