Exit Down the Rabbit Hole – Flower Pepper Gallery
This weekend might be the perfect time to meet a bunny named Felipe. Or at least a creature that looks kind of like a bunny. Mexican artist Juan Muniz created the character – a little cartoon that seems to wear a bunny suit and holds up a smiley face drawing to his face – and named him after his younger brother who passed away. This Saturday, June 15th you can see Felipe and more of Muniz’s art in a solo show at Flower Pepper Gallery. One of the artist’s biggest mantras is the phrase “say it simple, say it deep,” making his art approachable and interesting. The opening reception takes place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and if you get there early and stand amongst the first 50 people, you can take home a print.

Head to Self Help Graphics this Tuesday, June 11 to support the kiddos and their talent from 5 to 7 p.m. The students have trained in visual and digital art and mark the end of the school year with this show. Admission is free so bring the whole familia – especially your hermanito/a.
