Comfort Zone

03.03 – 03.10.21

Watch where you step. 

Women’s History Month never felt so necessary and so right. Bonfoey opens a new show, Nevertheless She Created, featuring nine top area women artists. Local legend Karen Small hosts an online cooking demo for Refugee Response. Artist Archives offers talk about four black woment artists. And Welshly Arms singer Bri Bryant’s song “This Will Be The Day” appears on the CW’s new docuseries New American Stories.

Are we stepping out of our comfort zone? Or finally stepping back in?
