We’re a small group of disparately minded artists. While we’re all independently minded, we also recognize the value of working together which involves both collective art pieces and hosting art events. Right now we’re building ourselves a community where we can thrive both together and apart, though it should be noted we’d like to keep our community smaller as we appreciate a more intimate vibe.
