Don’t miss the opening of the exhibit by the current 40^th Street Artist-in-Residence Erik Ruin tonight at 6 p.m. at the 40^th Street A.I.R. Gallery (aka Airspace Gallery, 4007 Chestnut Street). Ruin will present a floor-to-ceiling installation of shadow projections and prints titled “For the Sake of Future Days.” The central theme of the exhibit is the exploration of hopes and anxieties for the future of the world in the midst of adversity and transformation.
