Don't
be afraid to touch and interact with the artwork in
Hands On,
presented by Chicago-based collective, Deadline Projects. Breaking down
boundaries between art and audience in this one-night exhibition, local
artists unveil new work specifically created to be touched, handled,
and manipulated by the audience.
Hands On is a free
event and opens to the public on October 10th, from 6:00pm to 11:00pm
at Happy Dog Gallery.
