This show also marks stop-gap projects’ two-year anniversary! To celebrate, we’re bringing together our artist friends from near and far and compiling portfolios of small, collectable works. These “artist stockings” will hold an eclectic assortment of drawings, prints, photos, and art- objects from an impressive roster of artists (listed below). The stockings will be on display and available for just $25 during the pop-up show, with Patreon subscribers receiving 50% off. Come get a stocking, discover new artists, grow your art collection, and support the future of stop-gap projects!
