The four vignettes create a short story or sketch of subject matter that allows the viewer to peer into a brief storyline that each artist has created. For example, Thompson’s vignette of paintings depict children on the cusp of adulthood posed as kings or queens and asks us to consider the flawed kingdom that today’s youth stand to inherit.  The show opens on May 11 from 6-10pm and on Saturday, May 12 from 12-05pm. Shown: King of Poisoned World by Siolo Thompson,
