COMEDY SERIES
“…A group of sculptural works that aims at a void that signifies precisely the non-being of what it represents…”
— Artie S. Knob
Um, what?
Ugh! Enough with the incomprehensible art-speak already. It’s turns people off. We think art should be more accessible. And, we think comedians are a great way to help solve the problem. So, we are teaming up with veteran L.A. comic, Katie Love to find comedians who can lighten things up as we celebrate the arts and the artists who make the arts! Stay turned for show dates coming soon!
