The opening for "Walking the Edge" was a huge success! Easily 200+ people came through the Salemme Foundation to view the work and to enjoy the experimental music by Gary Hassay and Michael Bisio. Thirty artists participated in the show. The variety of work is ever-changing. It was great to see so many new faces, too. - - -The piece featured above, titled "Flip Out" is by Chris P Jones and is on display in this show - - -
