"Lo Que Aparece y Desaparece" Exhibit

Las Gallas would like to thank everyone that made it to our opening this past Friday. It was great to show our hard work and to have such positive feedback from all those that attended.

Our great friend, Monica McIntyre, opened the exhibit with a special musical performance.

The show will remain until June 5th, 2010. Here are some photos of our exhibit as a sneak peek, but be sure to see it in person!
