Junior curator Max organizes his first show in our living room

Toast (Tribeca Open Artist Studio Tour) was going on, and people all over Tribeca in and out of lofts visiting artists studios, so Max decided to hang some of his work and as well put a call out to some of his friends to see if they wanted to hang some work in our living room.

His friends who got it together on short notice was his friend Liam, who put in a watercolor drawing that was made as a collaborative piece in their Eastern Woodland Indian study class. Max's friend Fritz Johnson and his dad Jeff brought by five beautiful pieces to hang. A self portrait by Fritz as well as an amazing drawing of Frauces Tavern, a little reminiscent of the outsider artist, Chris Murray. Annabeth Johnson's work included a drawing of a flag, an abstract character and a wall hanging piece. Max included some marker drawings of guitars, a kinetic-collage drawing he had made in a program at the Whitney Museum as well as a stamp art piece made in his art class at school.

Several people came by, including some of Max's friends to hang out. Max had put a big sign on the front door so people would know there was a kids show downstairs.
