Trucks Nuts!
The Tennessee Wolfman Show

New Works by Charles V. Bennett 
February 15-March 15, 2020

BYOB Opening Reception
Saturday, February 15, 7-10pm

We're super excited to be getting a little down and dirty with our February exhibit by Nashville-based artist Charles V. Bennett, aka The Tennessee Wolfman!

Expect everything from cardboard sculptures to broken skateboard decks, all adorned with a colorful array of characters drawn from Bennett's world, with a sprinkling of satire and occasional political commentary.

In short, this is good stuff.

Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, February 15, 7-10pm to check out the new works and enjoy music by DJ Sean Doe plus complimentary snacks and soft drinks (BYOB if you want to have alcohol). Charles will be in attendance so stop by and meet the artist!

For BYOB, we are steps away from Beermiscuous, one of Chicago's best craft beer shops — 350 cold beers and ciders (over 200 local beers!) are available in a singles format, allowing you to create your own mix-and-match variety pack for the event!

Exhibit continues through March 15, 2020.

Back in 2007 we held an exhibit by a bunch of Chicago artists that were regulars during the early days of Rotofugi...a real diverse bunch of people that had come together around their love of art and declared for the world to know: we're BFFs!

This January we're getting the gang back together again. Over the last 13 years they've spread across the United States, but each and everyone is still making art and we're excited to have all ten BFFs in this new exhibit!

Join us for the opening reception and pop-up shop on Saturday, January 11, 7-10pm to check out the new works and enjoy music by DJ Sean Doe plus complimentary snacks and soft drinks (BYOB if you want to have alcohol).
