We're going to China(town)!

What other way to start the new year than to have a gathering of gatherings!?! Summercamp's ProjectProject is participating in Collective Show, Los Angeles where multiple groups, artists, performers, writers are invited to represent their organization through whatever form they see fit. For our part, we've invited Anita Bunn, Chelsea Dean, Ryan Lamb, Amy Maloof, Matt MacFarland, Julie Schustack and Devon Tsuno to share work in a shared space.
