We’ll be seeing a new range of work, from their paintings to their newer craft of sculpture. Their influence from their worldly travels will continue and they’ll also have a special guest artist and collaborator, Leah Chun who’s works are driven by popular culture. End of Summer Never Ends will continue the legacy of the artist duo. An opening reception for End of Summer Never Ends will take place from 6:30 – 10:00 on Saturday, Sept 7th.
