With the past year of chaos, and domestic terrorism from ICE, Border Patrol agents, and the Fed, this exhibition provides space for artists, writers, journalists, citizens, musicians, activists, organizers, and the rest of us to tell our stories and our truth.

The artists exhibiting in this show directly reference the past year in the U.S. and they go far beyond this place and time. Their artworks are topical and also broad in scope. 

We—and those who came before us—have been at this for a very long time. We want to show that we're not going anywhere!

MISSING: ALLS FEAR IN LOVE & DREAD / A TTRPG
The GAME :: Sat, March 21, 5–10 pm

Everybody has heard the tale of Cassidy Sullivan by now. She’s practically a local legend; a boogeyman to scare children. “Don’t go out at night. Too dangerous; see what happened to Cassidy!?” “Don’t talk to strangers or you’ll end up like Cassidy!” It’s been a year since her disappearance (she was 16 years old when last seen). The police have long since chased down and exhausted all leads they had and have come up with nothing. It’s as though she simply vanished into thin air like a magic trick, only no one’s laughing. Her mother, however, has never given up hope her daughter will return. 

As a figure in Cass' life, you've caught wind of a candlelight vigil being held by her family on the one year anniversary of her disappearance, and decide to attend to pay your respects…
