What's Hidden in the Walls?

Have you ever come to Arts & Draughts at the CMA? Have you ever drawn on the walls in the Loft with chalk while it was still an unfinished space? If you have, you can probably technically tell your friends that your art is being preserved on the walls in an art museum. Well, not so much on them as in them.

When putting up the drywall in the Loft, there was really no reason to remove the chalk from the cinderblock before framing out the space. So, the metal went up with your drawings still right there and the drywall was hung. Come see our new flexible event space in the Loft next time you visit the CMA!
