PAL +BUS

Posted March 7 by Chad Kipfer

Thanks to everyone that came out for the latest Divisadero Art Walk and the opening of PAL +BUS at Big Umbrella Studios. The opening night was a lot of fun and well attended, with a ton of the artists from the Poor Artist League and Big Umbrella in attendance. EARS who shows with PAL even made the trip from Australia.

The show will be up for a full month until April 4th so stop by and check it out if you haven't yet. There is a ton of great work in the show from these two organizations and the quality of the work is top notch.

Here are some images.

Enjoy.
