You’re invited to the opening reception of “Make Yourself, At Home” and witness the amazing mylar community garden that Drew Austin and our ArtLab interns made! 🌱
“Make Yourself, At Home” presents a body of work as an exploration in the understanding of self, through the act of making. Inspired by overlapping worlds of interior design, q***r coding, quantum physics, aging, and personal intuitive response, the physical crafting of the work takes precedence over the meaning of individual pieces.
“Make Yourself, At Home” will be the LAST exhibition in our Annex Gallery at Taxi before the big move so come celebrate this amazing exhibition with us! 🎉

Friday, May 15th, 6-8pm
3575 Ringsby Ct. 103, Denver, CO 80216
