We are excited to announce our first YouTube-based show! Under Everything is a collaborative show between StARTup and Hang12 featuring work from three StARTup artists: Mina Dailey, Emma Nasseri, and Theodore Weis. This entirely virtual show gives a more in depth look at these three artists' work, and provides a glance into why each of them chose to create. Both our Instagram and website will be updated with the link to the YouTube virtual opening on May 29th at 6pm. We hope to see you there!

Behind the scenes photos of hang days for past shows🖼🔨💥Our group prepares for hang days by curating and framing pieces at the Lawrnece Arts Center. Then, the Tuesday before the show opening we have our hang day! Display coordinators lead the group in deciding arrangement, how pieces are hung, and then installing them. These days are typically our busiest meetings; however, also the most exciting!
