First Friday was SO GOOD! 🤩 We popped by the Old Wrigley Building on the Westside to see the “Wilderwilds” at Idea Fab Labs and Gary Yost at Visual Endeavors and found the Liminal Space crew! We also stopped by MK Contemporary Art and caught “Shelter From the Storm,” Felix Kulpa for Russell Brutsche’s exhibit and Little Giant Collective for “In the Weeds,” a beautiful printmaking exhibit from friends Crystal Birns and Bridget Mary Henry.

There were so many great events! Which ones did you see?
