Monsters Under the Bed-Paintings & Drawings by Curt Kiwak @ Tucson Jewish Community Center
Jul 8 – Sep 6 all-day

Curt treats the blank page as a mini-theater, a place where narratives unfold as a drawing takes shape. From a group of random forms, what once appeared to be a pillow on a bed may prove to be a valiant knight, saving a child from monsters.
