POTLUCK – EATERS & FOOD
Thursday, July. 2nd, 6-10PM

July means BBQs with food, family and friends. In that spirit, our July First Thursday show is all food based artwork. But I’ve also asked the artists to prepare a dish that relates to their art and bring it in so we can enjoy it at the First Thursday opening! It will be a feast for the eyes and stomachs!

Including artwork and food by: Aidan Koch, Corey Thompson, Cassidy Muckleston, Jason Fischer, Kyle Cheatham, Johnny Acurso, Jennifer Parks, Andrice Arp, Rikki Barney, Sean Christensen, Amy Kuttab, Delphine Bedient, Cody Brant, Bobbie Sue, Nick Books, Blaise Larmee, Stefan Saito and more!
