The exhibition reminisces on the spirit of the 1980s downtown, Lower East Side and East Village community art scene and its galleries such as The Fun Gallery and The Mudd Club, where artists would come together and share each other's works.

The salon-style exhibition, taking up the entirety of the Theater's lobby, will display work by over 60 local artists as well as new and recent paintings by MarcusGlitteriS. Here, the old school meets the new school, featuring contemporary artists such as Al Díaz, Rick Prol, LA2, Clayton Patterson, Brett Depalma, Hektad, R.W.K., and SacSix, among others.
