Of Montreal

Hushpuppy Gallery is evolving...

...we took the sign down so that makes it official, I guess. This past year the gallery has been open has been great fun for Erin and I, met alot of great artists and people, now on to bigger and better things! Right now we’re looking into a more “collective creative” space, I’m thinking a screen printing setup and possibly a darkroom, but that could change… we’re looking for a space with a somewhat large work area…
