There are many artists currently featured at AQUA, however a couple that stood out among the many rooms were Travis Louie (featured in Hi-Fructose Volume 5), Greg Haberny, and Helen Bayly. Travis Louie, who is represented at AQUA by William Baczek Fine Arts Gallery, had brand new works in the space including a piece entitled Miss Trudie and the Bad Hair.
