Secret Santa

Secret Santa is the final exhibition for 2009 for the gallery. To celebrate Christmas and our first successful year of operation, we've invited all of the artists, performers, volunteers, and friends of Arthive to participate in a fun artwork exchange and open show. Works will be exhibited for the duration of the show and then gifted at random to other participating artists. It's not too late to be a part of the show, if you're keen, stop by and ask for a blank postcard!
