Hang Art Gallery : Front Lines - Lisa Kairos, Corbett Leith, Kevin Pincus.
Comment by AB: The show's title, Front Lines, refers to artists everywhere who strive for much more than basic survival. Time will tell who makes the grade and who falls by the wayside.

Ramon's Tailor : Searose Garden - Kathleen Clasen.
Comment by AB: Discards, mementos, remnants, curios and related miscellany are transformed into odd sculptural assemblages reminiscent of the Funk Art era. Artist Kathleen Clasen tells me that every single piece in the show acknowledges and honors a significant person in her life.
