Dear Friends of CAAS.

I thank those of you who were able to attend the opening of the Halal Metropolis exhibit on the 17th. I have included a few photos, below, for those of you who were unable to join us. It was a memorable evening, and I would be remiss if I did not thank Laura Cotton and Autumn Muir of the Stamelos Gallery for all of the support they provided our team.

For those of you who would like to schedule a guided tour of the installation for a class, school group, civic group, etc., or to host a meeting or other event in the gallery, please fill out this request form and a member of our team will get back to you right away.
