“Politicized 2,” Gallery 1515, Vancouver, Canada

My show "POLITICIZED" ended yesterday in Vancouver, BC at Gallery 1515 and it sold out! Thank you to everybody that came and the great people of Vancouver that I met while there. HUGE thanks to Sarvenaz Amanat and her family as they were wonderful hosts and treated Dana Ellyn and I like superstars!

If you are in Vancouver, drop by and check out the gallery soon... I just sent some new work for the gallery to carry on an ongoing basis.

THANKS! Matt Sesow

VANCOUVER IS AWESOME!
