Friday, July 15, 2016
12 noon to 6 pm

Hangar 18
1428 34th Street (at Hollis)
Oakland, CA

I’m very happy to announce, my Third Annual Open House at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery on Friday, July 15 from 12 noon to 6 pm.

Let’s get together for a celebration! I’d love to welcome the Widespread Panic family to Oakland, California and give everyone a warm welcome to the my studio. This is a great opportunity to visit the print studio that gave birth to some of your favorite posters for your favorite band. I’ll be making a Widespread Panic art show, an exclusive showing of my art prints on oak panel, with some special prints, rarities, and surprises available!

We will be giving people random numbers at the door at 11 am, so overnight camping is not encouraged.
