It’s been a little over 4 months since our last post. During that time we have had to make some changes in how we operate. You see, our beloved home, The Magoski Arts Colony and VioletHour Studio has had to close it’s doors to the public due to some much needed renovations. It was a bittersweet event. Losing our home after years of looking for just the right place to create was devastating. Our only hope is that after all is said and done, our haven with all of it’s little freaks can reunite and move forward with whatever incarnation the facility ends up manifesting itself as. Our last proper show was in September with Charlotte La Belle Araigne’e. This would be our most attended show and at that point we had big plans to bring even more elaborate and exciting shows. But have had to put those on the back burner to simmer until space permits.
We have created some new content and intend on keeping the creative process going in whatever way we can, With support of Laura Mussche of Trichology in Fullerton and Melissa Finds in Santa Ana we have been able to have a few exhibitions since the closing of the colony. The generosity of the our community has been wonderful, but nothing beats having a proper home.
All that said Psyko Boys is not throwing in the towel. We just have had to adapt and in some ways go back to our roots. For some of the talent that has been with us for the long run, they know what can happen with a few lights and a beat face on a cold winter’s night on our patio.
Thanks you all in advance for your undying support and cheers to a happy new year filled with challenges and triumphs.
Special thanks to Michael and Candaz Magoski for pushing us to be fearless and taking chances. So much love and appreciation to you both.
Also thank you to the secret benefactor who sent those lovely supplies, they were received at the exact right moment.
