Good But Fragile Things
Community arts organizers Whimsyhaus and Art Bazaar are thrilled to announce a collaborative interdisciplinary exhibition and live immersive sound experience centered around the creative prompt: "Good But Fragile Things.”
The organizers invite the community to both witness and contribute to an exploration of the things worth having, holding, doing or experiencing – despite the vulnerability that comes with their fragility.
The culminating event will be held on Saturday, November 7, hosted at Hollywood Art Lounge, featuring the debut of curated works in both the start of a 3-month gallery exhibition and an artifactual experience zine– as well as an integrated evening of visual arts, live musical performances, immersive projections.
