ART | CRIT #7 at OBC
In between exhibits, O'Born Contemporary pauses to reflect on exhibits past and future. Based solely on the opinions of six presenters who will be given 15 minutes to speak, O'Born's down time focuses on peer evaluation, allowing the presenters to open a dialogue with those in attendance about prior exhibits. The first six guests to RSVP to info@oborncontemporary.com are guaranteed presenting and discussion time but all are welcome to attend and engage in the forum, which will discuss the previous 2nd Annual Emergent Artists exhibit.
