Activation 2719: Gallery Closed This Weekend
Reported by Allicia
Sorry, due to the three changes in schedule in the past few weeks the listed open hours of the space have now run into conflict with the selling of the property. The gallery partnership relied on this carefully planned window of time to be able to showcase these artists and their works, and the weather condition of previous weeks has drastically skewed this time-frame. We really do apologize for not being able to honor the open hours listed, as a result this Pop-Up space will be closed this weekend Friday 26th – Saturday 27th.
We will however be open the weekend of Friday 5th and Saturday 6th. We will also be creating another opportunity for you to see these artists and their work. Starting in the weeks following this show we will begin posting listed Open Studio Hours for the associated artists. This will provide you the opportunity to see, and talk to the artists in person. Again we apologize for the inconvenience, hope to see you through next weekend.
Open Hours:
Friday, March 5th (noon – 7pm) + Saturday, March 6th (10 – 5pm)
Show Closing:
Friday, March 12th
Participating Artist:
The participating artists are Tim “Con” Conlon, Decoy, James Walker, Emily Green Liddle, Bryan Rojsuontikul, Drew Gram, Diana Cruz, Aniekan Udofia as well as No Kings Collective themselves Brandon Hill, Francisco Esteban, and Peter Chang.

Following The Art of the Blog_, we are partnering up with No Kings Collective (remember Activation 2719?) to bring you the first of a new art event series, the GALLERY at District.

Yet, their lives are as rich and vibrant as lives anywhere in the city.” (Pavel Medvedev, 2003, 35 mm, Russian [...]
