The Exhibit, : “Steampunk, Form & Function, and an Exhibition of Innovation, Invention and Gadgetry”, sponsored by Steampuffin, runs through May 10th, 2011 – and the Closing reception will be a great chance to see these three artists in person as they thank the curators of this remarkable exhibit, and meet with fellow steam enthusiasts for one more day.
