RVA artists Dan Owen and Jeff Byers will be premiering “Sorry America,” an exhibition of new artwork beginning at 6 PM this Friday at Chop Suey Books in Carytown. Owen has quietly made a name for himself in the Richmond art scene over the past several years, doing work that’s appeared both in local galleries and on album covers. Byers has had a higher public profile, though mostly as a musician, having previously played in Wow Owls and Best Practices, among others. This Friday, Owen will be presenting a selection of new pen and ink drawings, some with color added, while Byers will be showing a series of wood-burned panels. Here’s a quick preview:

Come see the premiere of “Sorry America” on Friday, June 13 beginning at 6 PM at Chop Suey Books, located at 2913 W. Cary St. For more info, click here.
