Art Show Today | Group Exhibition
December 15, 2014 ‒ January 25, 2015
Planthouse is pleased to present Art Show Today: a salon-style exhibition celebrating the efforts of every artist, every day. Art Show Today will exhibit work of all genres and media, contributed by over seventy of our friends and favorite collaborators, including Jared Friedman, Melissa Ludin, and Knight Mohr, as well as new work from the series Chroma by acclaimed tattoo artist Amanda Wachob, and a broadside by Vanity Fair contributor Dana Vachon.
In keeping with the ‘breadth is best’ school of thought, Art Show Today has invited the Planthouse clubhouse roster to submit ideas from the range of its imagination and in all acceptable media for our own private affordable art fair. There will be awards for submission and presentation in the show as well as snacks for the general public.
