Thursday, 9 August from 6-9pm. Don't miss "Talking at the Same Time" by Joseph Brooks at the Twilight Artist Collective! Featuring the art of the
crowd. 'In today's society we tend to have a mob mind set through the advent of
social media. Sometimes it is difficult to find yourself in this web of ones
and zeroes. The connectivity of the world we live in can make originality an
even harder commodity to come by. So I decided not to make anything stand out.
In crowds it is easy to get lost. Come get lost at Twilight Artist Collective; everyone will be Talking At The Same Time.' Also check out new work at The Heartland Cafe, Hotwire
Coffee,
Shoofly Pie, and more!
