First Thursday Opening: May 2, 5 - 9 PM
Star Wars Day Events: Sat, May 4, 1 PM
Sol Neelman’s series Weird Sports explores the joy and community surrounding people’s love of nontraditional sports. They include surreal competitions like: Big Wheel racing, barstool skiing, log riding, lightsaber fencing, and live monster wrestling. Many of these events are more performance art than competitive sport, a celebration where a participation trophy is the ultimate medal of excellence. All weird sports aim to achieve the same goal: bring together like-minded, creative, and active humans, often in costume and usually with cheap beer in hand.

Dylan Hausthor’s cross-disciplinary project What The Rain Might Bring explores the complexities of storytelling, faith, folklore, and the inherent queerness of the natural world.
