The event will be held at the Superchief Gallery in Ridgewood, starting at 2PM. There is an entrance fee to enter the venue itself” $15 for anyone 18+, and $10 for anyone under 18. Also to note, it does let you into Team1UPEm’s party that happens at 8PM (for anyone 18 and over ONLY).

DIRECTIONS:
To get to the Superchief Gallery, you would need to take the L train or the M train to Myrtle – Wyckoff Avenue Subway Station. Afterwards, it’s a six minute walk to Jefferson Avenue, where the gallery is located.
