Vanishing ink (and oil paint) at 12x12 sale

FALLS VILLAGE —The flash art exhibit was gone in a flash. At “12 X12 2017,” the David M. Hunt Library’s pop-up gallery show (in its seventh year), the display was intact for mere minutes before it began disappearing. Such is the fleeting nature of the show every year.
Seventy-four artists from the community submitted work —sometimes offering multiple pieces — following the Falls Village library’s measurement requirements of 12 inches by 12 inches.
