Hidden Wisdom Gallery Opening Tomorrow Night!
"Based on a True Story" brings all our artists together to offer their interpretation of how we resolve truth from fiction in the world we live in. We establish our thoughts and ideas based on various information sources be it history, religion, science, politics, media, or family. How much of this information gets filtered objectively and at what point do we perpetuate myth as truth. How do we seperate fact from fiction?

Experience the world of fashion from two vastly different perspectives in this exhibition of new work by event photographer-turned fashion blogger, Katya Moorman ( www.styledefinednyc.com), and editorial fashion photographer Ricardo Louis ( www.ricardolouisphotography.com). These two artists stood out as audience favorites in The Arsenal's summer group exhibition, and are back to highlight the dualities of contemporary fashion photography by pairing their cutting edge and classic techniques.
Our dear friend Chad is usually traveling non-stop around the country, shooting a wide range of commercial photography for his company 1010. So, we were delighted to hear that he took some time this summer to create a series of over 20 works of art combining his photography with an incredible technique that will blow your mind. More details to come, stop by on the 10th for drinks, art and some great music! Good times... :)
