Pink Dots and GROUNDED? Southern Exposure and Intersection for the Arts, Saturday, December 01

Southern Exposure has joined up with their new neighbor and old friend, Intersection for the Arts, to present a series of juried projects. With the same commitment to innovative, experimental, and risk-taking art we collectively decided on the theme, GROUNDED? What does it mean to be grounded and what does the journey in search of grounding look like? Artists were invited to submit work that responded to this idea in some way, shape or form.
