We are pleased to announce our fall art show WRECKED EXOTICS By Glen Baldridge opening reception October 3rd from 5 to 8pm at 68 Washington Ave! Featuring 18 framed prints, accompanied by hand bound zines by Glen himself (available to purchase in store and online) on display though December.

“Wrecked Exotics features a suite of artist framed risograph prints and an accompanying artists’ book. All display printmaking techniques developed in Baldridge’s many years of studio experimentation…” Aude Jomini described. “… Glen Baldridge’s Exotics are mementos to a chosen set of wasted classics: a Ferrari Testarossa, a Corvette... The scale is small: glimpsed moments, an intimate pocket size for a coveting voyeur.”
