Residents of the building open their studios, a video show will highlight regional videographers, and local artists take over common spaces with photography, mixed media, installation, etc. Live music on Friday night.

Joining regular Underscene artists are: Michael Hofer, Vaughnda Johnson, Jeremiah Ketner, Alain Park, and Andrew Rigsby of GardenFresh  (www.gardenfresh.org), Britton Walters (www.nerfect.com), and This is Not a Truck (www.blocartiststudios.com), a mobile gallery run by the Bloc Artist Collective, will be on site.
