ART 180's OPEN STUDIO SERIES IS THIS MONTH!
Help us celebrate and support young artists from our fall 2011 programs as they work to create change in our community. Join us at three intimate gatherings around the city (/25, 1/26 & 1/27) to see their work, hear their voices, and be inspired. You'll get to experience everything from dance and hip-hop to creative writing, animation and documentary film-making. Click here for the full schedule and mark your calendars today!
