Behind The Studio is a recurring series between The Aerogramme Center and solo exhibiting artists. Artists give an inside view to their work space and practice with a short artist talk, a studio tour while answering rapid fire questions, and a final Q&A with viewers.
Join us on Instagram Live, Friday, December 29 at 6:00 PM (EST) for our virtual Behind the Studio event with Chau Nguyen.
