Six years. Thank you all for everything. What was built here has been as organic as it comes. Every single one of my friends played a part in its growth whether they painted a wall, helped me pick out plants, worked a day I needed to be in the ocean, or just showed up when I needed it most. We have hosted music festivals, farm to table dinners, a million art shows, concerts, workshops, movie nights, and a thousand meaningful conversations. If you have been a part of any of this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The past six years will transcend time for me. Now, It is with a heavy heart and all the love in the world, I let you all know this will be the last summer for The Kings Lens And Friends. In one sense this was a very tough decision, one thought about for the past two years. In another, I am extremely excited to allow myself to grow and see what the rest of life offers. I have given as much as I can, to this space, this community, and my city. I’m excited to give back to myself and allow life to guide me into new ventures and opportunities. I do not see this as the end, but rather just the End Of My Beginning. To every artist that gave me the opportunity to showcase them, build with them, and trusted me and my vision, THANK YOU! I would be nothing without you. To the 7 Carroll Family, this place is a fu***ng zoo, thanks for letting me be apart of it. I look forward to watching you guys grow. To my friends that were there for the days of the pop ups, to the late nights on the couch, too many modelos to count, I fu***ng love you all. To my family, Mom, Pops, Jess, Thank you for allowing me to try something different and make a life of it. Your support means everything. To all those that purchased a piece of art and supported me and my friends, PLEASE KEEP SUPPORTING! These artists are the reason this town has life and culture. I will always do what I can to lift others up when and however I can. As for this last summer, please welcome The Farewell Tour. Let’s enjoy each other's company, spread art and love wherever we can, and have some amazing conversations on the couch. Thank you all for everything, Good Waves Only and Great Friends Always.
