MARCH 8 | At GALLERY CHIMERA, attend the opening of In Their Shoes, a solo exhibition by artist Olivia Franklin. Her mother’s artwork inspired the collection, specifically a drawing of her grandfather’s army boots, which she revered throughout her childhood. Through shoes, a lot can be discovered of a person. Franklin believes shoes give us a glimpse of who they are, their style, and personality, and hopes to showcase these trails in her work. instagram.com/gallery_chimera
