couchbleachers by Nate Page | Verge Center for the Arts
What weighs the iron? with Ben Alexy and Justin Marsh | Axis Gallery
Our last stop for the day was to swing by the Verge Center for the Arts. I had never been there before but had heard some pretty cool things about shows there. The location had little to be desired but the colorful building was pretty cool. It was very quiet in there, with just us and two people at either entrance (Verge at one end and Axis Gallery at the other).

We began at the couchbleachers installation, which - at this point in the day - made me really want to take nap! I liked what the artist said about the work, saying that he wants to create interactive pieces that people can touch, climb on and explore. I wish I could have been to some of the movie nights they had with the exhibit!
I moved pretty quickly through the Axis Gallery and sort of forgot to take some pictures of the works in the show (oops) but the artists Ben Alexy and Justin Marsh had a great display up. I was more drawn to Ben's work (see it here). His works were very large in scale and very impactful as you walked into the room.
I would be interested to see more exhibits at Verge/Axis; they seem to have some really fantastic artists working there and, looking through past shows, some awesome artists that come through there. I've got my eye on that place!
