Shimo Center for the Arts

Kevin Ptak's show this month at Shimo Center for the Arts is called The Underlying Aspiration to Cast More Shade, and luckily not The Underlying Aspiration to Throw More Shade. So rest assured, gallerygoers, you may enjoy Ptak's scultures, which consist of repurposed materials, without any dirty looks.
