Leiminspace is excited to showcase the live performance of My So-Called Variety Hour, created by artist Griffin Koelsch. The gallery space will be transformed into a 90’s Nickelodeon inspired installation of glittery and brightly colored theatrical sets made out of party supplies and Halloween decorations. Griffin will be putting on a variety show throughout the space consisting of video and live performance on opening night. The show will begin August 2, 2019 at 7:00 P.M. with the performance kicking off at 8:00 P.M.
