Battle of the Artist Curators
The inaugural show at Haze Gallery showcases the personal work of artists who are better known locally as curators, or who have curated at least a few local exhibitions. This includes multi-taskers such as Jeff Jahn, TJ Norris, Eva Lake, Bryan Suereth, and others, but unfortunately leaves out Nan Curtis, Bruce Conkle, Stuart Horodner, and Terry Toedtemeier. If you checked this show out during it's first month or so, there's all new stuff to see, as the artists changed the entire exhibition at the midpoint. Haze Gallery, 6635 N. Baltimore Ste. 211, 503-283-6863
