“Science fiction encourages us to explore the uncharted frontiers that lie in the deepest caverns of our imagination.
We are pulled in by the unknown and freed by the exploration of its existence.”
— Jarlan Perez
Virtual Flyers
Virtual flyers were created with pieces of art from each of the participating artists to share and to put up as placeholders when showing a preview of the space. The final exhibition will be live on May 25th.

Next steps with the gallery?
After this exhibition, I plan on opening up the space for various artists to do takeover events. Whether they want to do solo events or put on a show with their friends, I’m down! I might have to set up a form to better track inquiries so TBD on the specifics.
