Dashboard Co-Op Throws a Big Art Party

Painting, sculpture, fabric, video, music, and stunning dance by Helen Hale and George Staib.


Dashboard Co-Op held their 3rd event, Modes of Operation, in a giant room on Brady next to Miller Union last Saturday. It was an artist showcase and fundraiser but best of all a party.

It was great running into Dashboard volunteer Melissa Terry-left (proprietor of Signature Baskets in Ansley Mall). She's young but an old friend of our family.
