Nick Wirtz and I are actually having the opening for our show on Thursday the 19th due to midterms and spring break. However, our show will also be open Friday the 20th.
Thought it might be nice to do a weekly posting of the senior studio shows – we can use all the publicity we can get. ( There is one this Thursday instead of Friday by the way.) Thanks!
