  • Periwinkle Cinema: “Special Friends”

    periwinkleThis month’s shorts explore relationships — relationships between childhood cartoon icons, eerie relationships with ghosts, and some seriously complicated relationships with a sandwich, just to name a few.  We all know that “queer” is an umbrella term, but the curators at Periwinkle think you should know that “friend” is, too.  For example, sometimes seemingly benign objects you thought were your friend are actually praying for your death — or sometimes they’re just waiting to get a little friendlier than usual with you.  Don’t miss this fabulous lineup of shorts both old and brand new, and of course — don’t forget to bring all your special friends!

    Featuring work by:

    Keith Ballard
    Samara Halperin
    Kevin Seaman
    Vanessa Cisneros
    Vainhein
    Prudence Anne Amsden
    Chrissy Snailbell
    Lauren Soldano
    and more TBA

  • Black Salt Collective

    Black Salt Collective is the work of Fanciulla Gentile, Grace Rosario Perkins, and Adee Roberson.

    The Black Salt Collective embodies cultural and contemporary narratives. The work is cultural, but not “cultural” in the anthropological sense of the word, as cultural art is often seen through a Western lens. Black Salt is about contemporary identity in which experience results in atmosphere.

    This is our first art show featuring a collaborative window installation and work inside the ATA Gallery. Refreshments will be served with dj sets and projections through out the day.

    Black Salt will also have a table with original works, prints, t-shirts, and jewelry available for purchase. Stop by anytime– we’ll be here from 1 pm until 7 pm.

    Featuring a live set by Jeepneys!!! (http://jeepneysjeepneys.com/)
