Join Gallery1988 for the opening reception of "Come Out and Play," a small group show featuring three of G1988's most impressive emerging artists. All 3 participants have been wow'ing buyers as part of their large group shows for the past few years, and now, featured in their first more focused exhibit, have stepped it up to create beautiful large collections of their work.

Tomi Monstre and Julia Sonmi Heglund both have such unique voices within the pop culture print community, and their work for "Come Out and Play" is no exception. Hoang Tran, who sculpts pop culture icons out of ACTUAL crayons, is one of the most original, and unbelievable, voices they've ever exhibited. Together, this group brings a completely original point of view to G1988, and pop culture art as a whole, something extremely important in a genre where styles seem to be becoming very familiar across the board.
