Entrances to the Blue Paradox and the Black Creativity exhibitions. Love, love, love this! Oh yes, and that is the work of Rosemary Ollison flanking the exhibition.

Directly next to the entrance to the Black Creativity exhibition is the Griffin's newest exhibition, The Blue Paradox. Both are "must see's". Both are important to my life as artist and water advocate.
Sweet.

Looking for something else, I came upon this photo with Eugene Foney, myself and the piece he acquired that day. "No Sanctuary Here" series.
You are so missed Foney!
