Highlights (in our humble opinion):
Barry McGee and Josh Lazcano contribute an outdoor painting and video installation in a tipped over van at the entrance to the Center and Manuel Ocampo and Chris Oliveria collaborate on a painting on canvas and painted installation.

Watch for past A.D. exhibiting artist Bill Daniel and his "Souls Harbor" installation at YB Dec 19 thru Jan 4.

To add to the overall celebration of the visual, the tour will be accompanied by three DJ's performing with a VJ (video jockey).

The 5 week tour is set to take place in June, 2004 and will also feature short films as well as being accompanied with clothing designs for sale by each artist. If your gallery/space is interested in being a stop on the tour or you wish to view some work by the artists please forward your contact info to fwt@galleryAD.com. Peace.
