What began as a place to hold exhibitions has evolved into a concept for collaboration. Building on the inspiring exchanges that occurred during successive sessions of ekphraestival, the poetry/art collaboration honoring April’s National Poetry Month, the gallery is shifting to the curation of special projects. Follow along with me to see how this mission unfolds!
