Blanket Contemporary Art Inc.

I’ve been hearing great things about Blanket’s new gallery space and current exhibtion. Located atop of the second floor of nightclub Five Sixty, Blanket Contemporary Art Inc. is also going to sharing the space with The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Museum of Anthropology, and Presentation House. Currently, Blanket is showing a group exhibition with artists Neil Campbell, Jeremy Hof, Robert Kleyn, Sylvain Sailly and Mark Soo. The exhibit is on now until October 16, 2010.
