Priority spots will be given to full session ticket holders, so get your tickets in advance to secure a spot.

UNRECYCLABLE: LOOK AGAIN
Assemblage Art by Artist in Residence Andrew Borg
August 14 – 22
Opening Reception Friday, August 14, 5 – 8pm
The Space presents Unrecyclable: Look Again, a solo exhibition of assemblage art by Andrew Borg composed predominantly of the unrecyclable plastics, foams, and composites he refused to throw away for nearly two years — the molded trays, caps, and packaging inserts that carry no recycling code and vanish into the trash without a thought. The exhibition, culminating Borg’s year as Artist in Residence at The Space.
the business of art series
The Business of Art
Bi-monthly series to be announced soon.
We had a great opening panel discussion of this series called The Business of Art a couple months ago. It showed us that there is a real need among artists who are ready to grow their art practice to get together and hear from the experts. We are still crafting the best experience for the community, and partnering with the best experts to offer the most insightful conversations. The series will launch in the fall, so stay tuned!
