COME ONE, COME ALL! JOIN US FOR OUR BIRTHDAY!!!

Sarah R. and I just got done hanging most of the work, we’re waiting on a few stragglers (myself included), and I am VERY stoked on the work for this show! Come out and celebrate this Friday!

But while you are on the internet, take a moment, please take a moment and vote 1975 for best gallery in Rochester 2009! It would be like the best birthday present you could give us, and it doesn’t cost you anything! http://bestofrochester2009.com/

If you like street art or the art we’ve been presenting at 1975 Gallery, check out The Art Street Journal. It’s free, and comes right to your home. I just got my first issue, and it’s definitely worth it.

It’s a bit dubious, but my old roommate Matt Wright was representing 1975 while taking his office’s 8-burger challenge.

Whoa.
