Thanks to everyone who presented their work in some form or another -- from design for the exhibition and Hip-Hop event, to curation of the events, to display of work.
Special shout out to our guests noted in the post by Art Gal and prospective students, Katie and Jacob, for visiting on Friday as well.
Be on the watch for SOS! next fall -- when sculpture will be on the menu.
