The WISE is excited to continue showcasing the work of local visual artists from East Vancouver and beyond. The project aims to increase exposure for participating artists, reinforce positive associations with the local arts community, and increase lounge ambience. We are thrilled to showcase Rich Katynski April in the WISE Lounge. An official launch will take place Friday, April 7th 2017 featuring a night of music from one of Rich's bands: Wasted Strays. Show starts at 8pm. 10.00 suggested donation at the door.

About the artist:
Rich is a local freelance artist who spends his days and nights creating art for a living. He'll be featuring a few pieces from his favorite people series and some other worldly pieces straight out of the weird factory that's in his head. Rich does a lot of work with area bands and promoters and is an active part in the local music scene. His band The Wasted Strays will be laying down some hopped up Street country for the opening night so put on your drinking shoes and come out and support local art!
