Join us for the opening of our July exhibition, Too Cute! generously sponsored by New Pioneer Co-op. There will be a cotton candy machine and sticker sheets! (optional) dress code: cute!

Puppies, pastel desserts, miniature anything—that’s cute. But there’s a dark side [ OwO ]. Cute things are things easily harmed. There is an inverse relationship between vulnerability and the impulse to care for, or crush. Shallow, easily dismissable, feminine, childish—these words are often synonymous with cute. This exhibition seeks art works that push the aesthetic boundaries of the adorable.

About the curators: Drake A. Wilbur is a cute graphic designer. Vero Rose Smith is a dream-artist. Together, they will curate the sparkliest, fluffiest, most enchanting immersive installation ever!!! <3 <3 <3
