There is Only One Paul R. Williams: A Portrait by Janna Ireland | Opening on December 9

WUHO Gallery presents an exhibition by Los Angeles-based photographer, Janna Ireland, who takes a new look at the built legacy of the prolific yet under-appreciated African-American architect, Paul R. Williams. The opening will take place this Saturday from 6-9 p.m.

Museum of Failure | Open now until February 4

Mistakes happen, but sometimes you never get to live 'em down, unfortunately. Now at the A+D Museum, the Museum of Failure revisits history’s epic fails by some of the world’s best known companies — from the laughable Bic for Her marketing catastrophe to Colgate's frozen beef lasagna (ew) to Donald Trump's own version of Monopoly from 1989 (no surprises there).
