From the Nucleus website:

Please join us in a celebration of art and the creative spirit as we gather talent for our 3rd annual benefit art show, Power in Numbers 3! Our biggest event of the year, Power in Numbers features artists creating 5" x 7" postcard-size artwork in any desired medium and themes of their choice. All works will be priced at $100.00 and 20% of all artwork sales will go towards a benefit of choice. This year’s benefit of choice is the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Los Angeles. This show will also mark our official homecoming party into our new space so join us opening night for the festivities!

The list of participating artists is huge, and includes a gaggle of Flight alumni, including Alex Fuentes, Andrea Offerman, Clio Chiang, lsrael Sanchez, Jon Klassen, Justin Ridge, Neil Babra, Richard Pose, and Chris Appelhans (whose Power in Numbers piece is pictured below)!

The opening reception will be this Saturday, Apr. 12, from 7:00PM to 11:00PM. Visit the Nucleus website for the full details.
