Last night, the Bas Fisher Invitational celebrated five years of artistic innovation and its newest portfolio, "Wow We Have Come This Far," a tribute to past exhibits and a variety of works by 12 BFI alumni. The project is being sold to match a Knight Foundation grant and raise money for future BFI programming.
