ABOUT WORKING TITLE Curated by Diana Benavidez and Leslie Ann Leytham, Project [BLANK]’s annual exhibition of local art and music returns with a ritualistic mélange of paintings, sculpture, multimedia art, and live performances.

This three-day, community-based event will include new works, world premieres, and thought-provoking performances featuring some of the most exciting creative voices in Southern California, Tijuana, and Baja California.
