The annual Love and Passion show got a kick this year with a venue move and some new presenters. The show was presented by exhibition founder Karyn Mannix Contemporary, as always, but received assistance from Hampton Hang Gallery and Sara Nightingale Gallery, who co-presented this year's themed show that tackles the thorny side of romance.
"Love and Passion: Walk on the Wild Side" was presented from Feb. 15 - 22, 2014. The opening was originally planned for Feb. 15 but was postponed to Feb. 22 because of snow. Following are some of the people who attended the Opening / Closing Reception:
