Events
Material Haiku MMXXVI by Gaby Oshiro turns her divergent exploration on the evocative power of materials, techniques, and balance.
Kindred Spirits is a two-person exhibition by ceramic artist Christine Anderson and abstract painter Benjamin Strawn.
The opening reception will be Friday, April 17 from 5-7pm with an artist talk beginning at 5:30pm. Both shows are on display through May 21.
Tattooers are incredible artists– they are constantly creating. Does their profession inform their personal artwork, or vice versa? Could one exist without the other? This invitational, group exhibition explores that relationship and looks at the fine art side of the tattooing industry. Curated by Sarah Overbeck and Matt Hays.
Join the artists for a day of tattooing at The Launchpad! Saturday, May 30 from 11am-6pm (first-come first-served, 18+)
