The Opening night for Grace and Ritual took place on May 10th at the I am 8 Bit Gallery in Echo Park. The show featured over 4 dozen different female artists exploring their talents in different fields and media. The show featured paintings, sculptures, live installations, interactive art, and photography in a uniquely designed gallery environment. It was evident to see how raw, yet beautiful, the world of female art can be. Each woman in the show represented themselves in vastly different ways, which created an exciting opening night where so many different styles, media, and visions were on display. Grace and Ritual will be open for viewing until May 26th, this collection of experimental and intellectual art is not one to miss, so make your way down to Echo Park, Los Angeles. -Desilu
