THE TENDERLOIN PROJECT

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the opening last Friday for The Tenderloin Project at ABV Gallery in Atlanta.  The response to the show and the project was incredible!  Amazing to hear such positive feedback from everyone who attended and to realize that a project like this can travel from San Francisco to Atlanta and still hold relevance.  The feedback was a success in and of itself, and it was great to see so much art from the project selling as well.  Everything will now remain on display at the gallery until July 25th.  A special thanks to gallery owner Greg Mike for hosting the show, and to everyone at the ABV team, Tommy, Ash and Priscilla, for their hard work and for helping me to realize my vision for the installation.  A very special thanks to Homa as well for her help in producing the exhibition and for documenting the adventure.  Enjoy the photos below…

Thank you so much to EVERYONE that came out to the show opening at Medicine Agency on Friday night!  The show will remain up at the gallery until May 5th, and then travel to Atlanta in June.

Anyone interested in purchasing art from the project or seeing the show in person should contact info@thetenderloinproject.com for pricing and scheduling.  Mike Giant posters are still available for 40$, and all the art from the project is available for sale as well.
