Event Description
Artist Opening - Aaron Molinsky, at Harley's Emporium
Aaron Molinsky sees much of the darker side of life in his career as an EMT. As do many artists, he has embraced that part of his life truthfully, incorporating that darkness into the beauty of his art. You must see his talented renderings. Seeing both his lighter and more whimsical pieces as well as his darker, stark renditions will give you an insight into the art and mind of this very talented young man.
Important Note: Some of the visuals contain very strong images which may be offensive to some. Please be aware of this when you come. That being said, we strongly believe you should not miss this show.
