Show week

The term "show week" in my house means ready yourself for a bit of chaos. Art piled by the door. Vehicle seats stacked in the garage so the van can be used as a u-haul of sorts. All the little bits that make a show enjoyable and successful have to be put in place. Of course, every show I tell myself I will be SO prepared that on the Friday morning of the show I can have a leisurely breakfast before I head down to 3150 C Street to get the show in place. I haven't experienced that leisurely breakfast yet but I know it's going to be fabulous when it happens.

If you have never done the First Friday art walk you really should. Most galleries in town feature an artist and have an opening with the artist on site, snacks and drinks. It is a fun free night out and for the artists involved it makes the chaos of "show week" all worth it.

I hope to see you 5-8 p.m. Friday, April 3 for "Asian Brushstrokes" at Gallery 31 Fifty at 3150 C Street ( 31st and C in the Yukon Building) Come and enjoy hands on art demonstrations with Jean Shadrach and Gail Flotre. The show display will continue 11-5 p.m. Monday, April 6.
