The opening reception for the first showing of “Natural Resources” was a great success!

The gallery was packed with people for the entire evening, and several of the artists showed up to check out the show! Attending artists included Mike Burnett, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Spayd, Allie Smith, and Julia Kuo.

We’d like to take a moment to thank Mr. Mike Burnett, without whom none of this would have been possible.
