Thank you everyone involved with making the second year of art installations between ACHIEVA and Oxford a success. These exhibitions provide artists working at VaultArt Studio with their first opportunity for a major career milestone: a solo show. As we've seen with Sean Regis Traynor and “A Dream Deferred”, your exhibitions give artists highly valued accomplishments, skills, and confidence, to be used for their future career growth. Sean wouldn't be featured in City Paper this week without your help. And, thanks to you, the artists highlighted this year, Darian Johnson, and Tafara and Tarira Bundrige, can look forward to even greater opportunities. To the team at Oxford- it's hard for us to express our gratitude better than Sean did last year when he said at the end of the event, "you know, I'm a little speechless." Still, Tafara did want to let you know that, in her estimation, this was the "best art show ever." Thank you for doing something so meaningful. To marking the humble beginnings of many bright futures! . . . #darianjohnson #tarirabundrige #tafarabundrige #seanregistraynor @oxford_pgh @Oxfordpgh #theyardsat3crossings #drawing #drawings #fun #shapes #inkdrawings #flowers #design #sharpie #hyatthouse #colorpencils #pittsburgh #illustration #thestrip #pghcitypaper #art #artist #steelcitygrammers #burghsnap #pghcreative #madeinpgh #vaultartstudio #vaultartpgh #achieva (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00o38SBuRw/?igshid=9yofj87avgns
