Live Comments – October Grand opening of CruxSpace

By RobertaOctober 5, 2014

First Friday, Oct. 3, 2014, saw the grand opening of CruxSpace, a new media gallery, near Girard and 7th St. I stopped by before the official opening while the gallery was documenting the show and attending to last minute details and collected some Live Comments and photos. The audio is brief (4 minutes) and features Ashley John Pigford, Katherine Bennett, and Andrew Cameron Zahn.
