“Galactic Panther has mixed the visual arts with music from the beginning”, states curator Eli Pollard. “Not only do we offer multiple live music performances in the gallery every week, we also carry artwork by several artist / musicians like Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO.” This group exhibit features a diverse group of 26 primarily American artists. Originally conceived as an exhibit that would alter album covers to offer small, affordable works of art in time for the holidays, it has expanded to include original works incorporating a wide range of media including mylar and video to more fully express the love and influence of music. The exhibit will also feature an extended selection of vinyl records for sale.
