Local and international artists, performers, and chefs will come together for one day to explore the idea of solitude.  ALEX H NICHOLS is an artist who is gathering artists to honor the love of process and experimentation.

We call this event a “happening,” to echo the spirit of “happenings” in the 1960s, emphasizing spontaneous and collaborative artistic expression. ALEX H NICHOLS  gathers artists to explore how they navigate and create art, creating a space where art and ideas push beyond traditional boundaries.
