The 24,000-square-foot art space, which is owned by Walter Productions, hosted a variety of art cars and artworks, as well as performances by DJs and tons of costumed partygoers in attendance. This weekend, the folks from Walter Pro- ductions will stage a follow-up, dubbed The 2/2 Event, that will feature a similar mix of art, music, and revelry. As its name por- tends, the party takes place on Saturday, February 2, and is inspired (more or less) by the whimsical nature of Groundhog Day.

A portion of the pro- ceeds will benefit the Arizona Burn Foundation and its Camp Courage. The Where?House Gallery is located at 702 North 21st Avenue.
