Art show attendees browsed through rows of hand crafted art stands that call RPS home.  They then moseyed into the Vault where they were served free wine and delicious sushi provided by Miso HARNEY SUSHI while art lovers displayed their affection for creativity.  Featured artists included Sake, Optic, Romali and Godoyski.

An ear for music led many people to the outside lounge where DJs were spinning hip hop beats, playing mostly old school and fresh original mixes.
