Life Blood Exhibit Grand Opening

Life Blood Exhibit is gearing up for the grand opening at Florissant Valley Contemporary Art Gallery! After the preview party at Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts, this will be the first showing of the exhibition in its entirety and catalogs from the show will be offered for a suggested donation of $5. I will be sending out more reminders as the show nears, but please mark your calendars now to join in the conversation and help break the taboo surrounding menstruation.
