“Good Mourning Tis of Thee” reminds me of
what Co-Lab Projects’ heart is made of — a
full-throttle, 150% ALL THE TIME mentality.”
“While most volunteer-run galleries don’t have a
good track record for staying power in Austin,
Co-Lab has already lasted longer than most.”
“Co-Lab quickly became known as the place where you could experiment, where
you could take risks. It was the only place in the city fostering this type of work.”
