Clampdown Exhibition Continues Until 21 May

Big thanks to everyone who came out to see the opening of Clampdown: Labor, Management, and the Recession over the weekend. We had steady numbers thru the doors the entire time from 6-10pm, and I overheard/partook in a good number of conversations about many of the topics raised in the exhibition -- which in my mind was one of the biggest hopes for the show, to just get people discussing and thinking critically about the issues at hand. So thank you everyone for the engaging dialogue.

I definitely also want to give a huge thanks to Douglas Max Utter, a renowned local artist who has also been writing art reviews for 25+ years, for coming out to see our exhibition and for his write-up in Scene Magazine that hit the presses this morning. Click here to read his review of the show.
