Armory Open House Recap

With over 200 guests, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts is proud to consider the Armory Arts Week 2011 EFA Open House a success! On Saturday, March 5, 2011, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Work Shop, the Project Space Exhibition “I Like the Art World and the Art World likes me,” and almost 50 studios all opened their doors to allow our guests to explore for hours.  Open Studios is a great way for the public to observe art before it gets to a gallery and converse with the artists about their work during the creation process.
