The project has done just that and features many fine collaborative works by area artists. The gallery also hosts monthly shows. Popular exhibits have included "The Circus Show," "The Graphic and Board Show," and "Living With Fur." If you like edgy works of art, you won't want to miss a chance to visit A Bitchin' Space.
