The West Town Gallery Network is a group of six art galleries looking to make WestTown a destination for compelling visual art, alongside the other established gallery communities in the city. To promote their cause, they have created a beautifully designed (and pirate-map inspired) brochure (PDF) and map (PDF), designed and lettered by local artist Eric Lebofsky. If you would like a Lebofsky drawing of your own, you can win one by participating in the upcoming WestTown Gallery Hop on November 19th. Peep Slowdown for the skinny on the hop.
