The popular Think Tank Gallery, which recently closed its doors downtown, has relocated to the Bonito Swap Meet in Westlake. Its inaugural exhibit, “Legal Goods,” was held over the April 1-2 weekend. Featuring art that was made by incarcerated convicts with materials found in lockup, the show helps to humanize the artists and explore the relationship between what is “legal” versus what's “good.” Admission to the gallery is free, but visitors are asked to bring a few dollars cash to purchase an item from one of the local vendor neighbors inside the swap meet.

The show was co-produced by artist Phil America and runs through April 30. For more info on the exhibition and upcoming events, visit Think Tank's website.
