Weekend 1 Report

Quite a crowd turned out Friday night at Artspace for the Grand Opening Reception for this year's City-Wide Open Studios, the event's "crystal" (15th) anniversary. The weather cooperated as much of the Ninth Square took on a festival atmosphere, in part due to the numerous light installations of the second annual LAMP (Light Artists Making Places).

Crowd socializes and browses the main exhibition at Artspace:
