The exhibition will run from June 3-27, 2021, with an opening reception tentatively planned for Saturday, June 12, 6-9 pm for artists and 7-9 pm for the general public (dates subject to change based on Covid situation). An online gallery will also be available through Biafarin, with the show featured on multiple online art sites for additional exposure.
