We’ve had thousands come through the Lab at the Leo to take a look at our colLABorART event in conjunction with the Leonardo. Beginning Thursday, the artist pairs began working on their pieces and on Saturday, while a packed audience mingled through the space, all eight artists were at work, soaking up the vibe of an interested audience and the energy of their fellow artists.
Here are a few shots from the weekend.
- Kent Christensen at work on “Frosted and Fried,” his pop art collaboration with Jann Haworth.
