Thank You All!
We had a great turnout for the Scott Roberts Show FOUND WORKS. Thank you to all who braved the cold weather and came out to spend time in our gallery. We were thrilled to see that quite a few red dots appeared on Scott's artwork that night! The show continues through January 2017, so there's still time to stop by and see the beautiful collection.
