Comment: This group show was a fundraising event for the National Parkinson Foundation. All the work was priced under $200. The show featured sculpture, photography, painting, mixed media and variations of the like. I am a big fan of Kelly Tunstall so it was great to see her work there. The show had a light feel to it and the crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves. Silkscreen art (Jason Munn). Art (Kelly Tunstall). Art (Huan Nghiem). Art (Rebecca Zemans). Art (Whitney Smith).

Comment: This space is relatively new. It has a great feel to it-- very bright and airy with a nice high ceiling that allows ample room for larger pieces. The second you walked in the door you feel right at home. Therešs a front gallery space and then an adjacent room that serves as a kitchen/ lounge area with art on display as well. The show encompasses painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. The space in general was a little hard to find. It's on Clyde Street (a half-block alley off Townsend between Third and Fourth Streets). Art (Anthony Shwartz). Art (Zac Amendolia). Art (Nicole Hagen). Art. Art (Marcine Franckowiak). Art.
