ARTE: LANA FUTURA

Celebrating our dear friend LANA FUTURA.  I first met Katharina when her and Shawana Davis came by the gallery in 2011.  It was still P.I.A. back than and we were still in the downtown space.  That day they came over and we chatted about ways to collaborate the Be Beautiful Project was born out of that visit.  When the the exhibition opened it was a special night for all of us.  Pretl who went by the name Lana Futura in her art career was a special soul and will be deeply missed.
