No returns.
Exhibition: Curated by Joan Harrison, LuAnn Palazzo and Constance Wolf, the new ABAD show will open in the SAL Art Gallery at the CW Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville, NY, and run October 31 to November 4, 2010.  All submitted work will become part of a permanent Ray Johnson ABAD Archive.
