Feb. 11: Champoy Hate: Cryptic shARTz opening reception at Home Room

Team False Start — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:59:55 +0000

From the Facebook invite:

“Part interactive experiment and part celebration of the satirical nature of “comix.” Champoy invites you to re-imagine art shows as a creative experience where the viewers can be more than just mere spectators of pictures hanging on a wall. What that means — you’ll have to figure out.

Featuring an interactive “comix jam,” come prepared to draw!”

This event is FREE at Home Room, from 9pm – 1130 pm.
