Thanks to everyone who came to the opening for Read the Room two weeks ago, we had a blast!!

It was great to see so many of the artists at the opening. We took a group shot at the end but didn’t capture everyone who showed up:

Big ups to all the artists for trusting us with their brilliant artworks; my co-curators for bearing with my hyper-focus on details; everyone at Charlotte Street, especially Kimi and Kevin who helped so much with install; and my fam for putting up with all the time I had to put into this project.

The show is up thru Saturday, July 13th, and we have a couple more events planned, both taking place in the Charlotte Street Kemper Library:

• Freestyle featuring jazz guitarist Adam Schlozman and zine-making with Read the Room artist Barbara Lane Tharsas, Saturday, June 8, 1 to 3pm
• Inviting the Images, an autobio-comics-making workshop run by co-curator Jason Lips, Wednesday, June 26, 6 to 8pm

You can also just come by Charlotte Street Gallery, 3333 Wyoming Street Kansas City, MO 64111, Tuesday thru Friday 12 to 5pm and Saturday 11am to 5pm, to check the work out! Or see the install shots on my Instagram.
