Jason Dussault works in distinctive ceramic mosaic form and Raphael Mazzucco is known internationally for his arresting photography, which has taken the fine art world by storm and has also graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and appeared in the Victoria’s Secret Coffee Table Book.
When: Friday, November 17 from 5pm-8pm
