The Peopling

So. Much. Human. Contact.

(Digital)

The second night of the Tarot was delightful and we were lucky to have so many great artists, wonderful Tarot readers (the good Rev let me know I need way more sandwiches in my life), and many guests we were so honored to host. Many many thanks!

The gallery will be open for visitors the 15th - 19th, 5-10 and the 24th - 26th, 5-10.
