Fun Gallery Opening in NYC, Especially if You Have Kids, But Still Fun If You Don't

The show has two openings -- both are on Thursday, July 15th, at 182 Lafayette -- the Children's Reception is from 4:o0 to 6:00, while the General Reception is 6:30 to 8:00. I wish I could be there! I expect it will have all the charm, naivete and sophistication of a Henri Rousseau painting.
