Happy New Year People! We’ve partnered with Girl About Town to start 2009 off with an awesome exhibit. As I type, Ken Hinchey and Lauren Trzaska are hanging their spectacular collections of rock photos on our gallery walls. Subjects range from Patti Smith to Slash to M.I.A. to Jeff Buckley to the Roots to… oh I could go on for a while. Music lovers of every genre will find a shot of one of their favorites. You’ll have to come see them for yourself. Oh, and the work is priced affordably too, so, yeah, you’ll be able to take something home. And you will definitely want to.
