The range,scale and medium of work these artists produce is amazing…
from textural abstract pieces that let you wander in your mind…to intricate stencil work with a vibrant color palette.
Animals and characters that tell a story thru their gaze…
and Narrative wonderlands. These are all pieces that must be seen in person to really feel the depth of them.

we have dj’s Roane, Biosonik & Sknny Mrcls sculpting sound
for your eardrums!
* goodgrooves…jazzy,past and future beats,bass,rhymes,stutters, hiss&flutter…cut,mixed,blended and remixed
