Comment: One of my favorite shows of the year. There's the event here at SomArts, and the Digital Offerings part-- a website where you can upload your own personal memorials. Art for art's sake; art for life's sake; art for memory's sake; art dedicated to celebrating and honoring those who have gone before us. If not for them...
