Last Nites Opening

We had a great turn out last night. The performances were great and our featured artists were all the buzz. Crystal Chan's dream like work left viewers in awe admiring the scenes presented. FIve of her pieces were sold that day. Marigrace Albeda our featured artist two really intrigued the audience with her mixed media paintings. Two of the pieces that truly stood out in her work were Rapunzel and the Marie Antoinette III getting many comments through out the night. We also had some of Girls Drawin Girls Calendars sold, I spoke to one of the buyers who told me it would be going back home with him to Ireland. There were also some delicious treats being sold, everyone was chatting about these delicious treats made with dark chocolate. Tara brought one my way and to tell you the truth it was pretty good! So if you missed out on our opening show don't worry because guess what you can come this Thurday and check out all the art. You wont have the music or dancers...but hey there's always next month, and I wouldn't miss out on that one becuase it's gonna be a big one (the sculpture show). So for all of you here are some pics of last nites show :) I'll be posting more pics, on myspace and facebook so check it out.
