This year marks the 13th annual BLAB! SHOW group exhibit, which will be opening this Saturday, September 8th at the world famous Copro Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. Curated by Blab! founder, Monte Beauchamp, the exhibit will showcase works by many of the artists who have been featured in both his publication and/or the gallery, respectively.
