Opening Reception / Dec 12, 6:00PM - 9:00PM
**In-person opening reception has been cancelled due to recent surge in Covid cases, please contact us at [email protected] to view artwork by appointment. Thank you **
Phantasy Arcade is a unique art exhibition concept born out of quarantine. Featuring a coupling of artist and musicians, each artist created work for an original, non-playable, 1/6th scale arcade cabinet. Musicians simultaneously created original music based on the artists' concepts. The collection is a miniature arcade that evokes nostalgia for things that never were.
On display in the gallery December 12, 2020 - January 3, 2021
