A couple days ago I met local artist Carmen Menza. Her work will be featured this Friday, along with 16 other artists at Off the Grid, an old Power & Light substation that has been renovated for cool events like this one. The exhibit is one night only, open to the public, and 30% of all proceeds will benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center.

Expect lots of new age art and chatter. Meet the artists and other enthusiasts. Or don’t meet anyone and just look at the art. The reception is from 6-9pm. Go. Support local artists. Have fun.

When: Friday, May 8, 2009 from 7-10pm
Where: Off the Grid is located at 1723 Kelly St.
RSVP: No RSVP required. Free to attend.
