Upstate Art Weekend at (Creative Legion): Opening Reception of Waiting Room by Braden A. Hollis
Join us for the Opening Reception for our latest exhibit with Good Black Art (@goodblackart), 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘮, during Upstate Art Weekend (@upstateartweekend). 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘮, our second summer exhibition, invites visitors into an immersive environment where domestic space becomes a site of reflection, care, and transformation.
Co-curated by artist and designer Braden A. Hollis (@bootlegballerina) and realized through the spatial design of Pablo Olguin (@eyypablo), this exhibition blends art and design across disciplines into a warm, lived-in environment. From early sketches and brainstorming to furniture, floor plans, and found objects, every piece reveals a creative process rooted in care, intention, and collaboration.
Meet the artists and curator as we bring warmth to the space with local, DJ April Hunt (@DJAprilHunt).
