December 1, 2022 - Artist reception for Dominique Chouteau’s “Dorchester Stories”. Held at the home.stead cafe, 1448 Dorchester Ave, we had a great vibe and turn out! Thanks to cafe owners Jack Wu and Nhat Le for their gracious donation of their space for the exhibit and their personal time serving customers at the event, as well as their children John and Jane for running service during the event! Thanks to Peter Slabysz and Seth Daniel for photographing the event and letting us share the photos. And a special thanks to our friend, fellow alien[art]cube artist, and the organizer of the home.stead art shows, Elisa Girard!
