Limited-edition prints are one of the best ways for budget-minded and new collectors to acquire artwork and support independent artists, and we are committed to providing this venue on a recurring basis. A reception featuring many of the artists will take place from 6:30 - 10:00 on Saturday, July 11. For more information about the opening, the artists, GR2, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact GR2.
