Josh Agle's new show, “Pink Elephants,” opens at Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City this Saturday, November 23rd. The opening reception is from 7 pm to 10 pm, and, as always, it's free, open to the public, and usually a lot of fun. 

An American artist, Agle is better known by the nickname Shag.

Corey Helford Gallery is located at 8522 Washington Blvd.
