New American Art Union. It's not a surprise they are announcing second shows by their artists. This month Felice Koenig shows "Alliteration", abstract work which composes color and shape in a manner analogous to alliteration in literature.

Light Leak is a show by photographers who meet monthly to share work and provide feedback to one another. Did I mention that participation is free? This show includes Blake Andrews, Bob Gervais, Lisa Gidley, George Kelly, Bruce Hall and Krista Wheeler. Newspace is mounting a capital campaign to expand their space next door. The plan includes a color darkroom and a digital media lab. If you have some excess cash this is a good place to put it. New Space Photo til 10 www.newspacephoto.org 1632 SE 10th

Tiny's Coffee shows work by painter Lisa Dejohn, Amy Ruppel and Briana Linden. Live music by The Escapists. 1410 SE 12th 7- 930 PM

Small A Projects opens "Out the Window" photographs of Los Angeles by Zoe Crosher. Crosher made many of the images shooting out the windows of vacant hotel rooms in the vicinity of the LAX airport. The pictures symultaneously capture the low rent neighborhood's ennui, a transient sense of place and the potential for adventure in each departing plane. The artist will speak at 8. This show continues the gallery's bold curatorial moves and strong sense of quality. www.smallaprojects.com 1430 SE 3rd Gallery open 6-9PM
