Gallery Debut In The News

GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago Returns to Gallery Victor Armendariz

Bruce Dempsey, the program leader and retired Art Professor, helped the Art Explosion! program participants put their spin on classic pieces like Edvard Munich’s “The Scream” and Vincent Van Gogh “Starry Night” to name a few. His love and dedication to the program is a huge reason for its success! The big debut at Gallery Victor Armendariz   was Saturday December 1st, and we weren’t the only ones who were excited to see the art on display. NBC Chicago, Fox 32, Telemundo, and ABC 7 all covered the event!
