Odd Beauty at Tinges Commons opening cancelled, show to still go on!

Just a quick reminder and update: Odd Beauty will begin by Tuesday, June 1st, at Tinges Commons. Drop by today between 2-5pm if you would like to contribute a sign! Due to scheduling challenges faced by a majority of our participants, and a longer than expected installation process, we will not longer be holding a formal reception for the show on Sunday (tomorrow) May 30th. Nevertheless, the project will be complete by Tuesday, June 1st, so feel free to stop by and take a look anytime thereafter!

Thanks for all the support.
