The art of Brayden Bugazzi will be featured. Brayden explained the work he is exhibiting, “I am showing a collage fusing vintage space exploration recreating a famous photograph from the Moon landing, to the new modern dreams of reaching further out to Mars and beyond. This will play into the Space, invasion theme that the Magic Castle is building with their Halloween event.”
