"chip off the old block" opening

Last Friday, October 23rd, was the opening of our latest art exhibition, "chip off the old block," featuring Halloween masks made by the children of artists. Thanks to everyone for making it a huge success! The masks were amazing, styles ranging from the googly-eyed to the paper-mached, naive to conceptual. A huuuge thank you to Tai from Scoops for donating delicious oreo mascarpone ice cream. We would like to also thank Brain Sucking Peanunanners (featuring 8-year-old multi-instrumentalist Bella) and children of all ages who took over Synchronicity for the night, drawing on the activity wall, making impromptu masks out of Play-doh and otherwise running rampant! We couldn't have asked for a better reception! Below are some of the pictures from the opening including many of the artists in front of their work.
