Half-hidden art party at Sweet 11Sweet 11 Gallery is a cozy gallery space located on the second floor at 863 ½ Main Ave. It’s easy to miss, but usually there’s a sandwich board sign out front signaling the way.

The one-night show calling forth opposites and balance starts at 5 p.m., going till 9. There will be a short talk by Strickland at 6.

Reminder: Sweet 11 is NOT Sweet 101. Different spaces, dudes.
