2011 Inspiration - Sip, Taste, Paint - Repeat!

We've been enjoying some of our own "March Madness" at the gallery in 2011 - and it's been great fun! We're getting ready to add some unique opportunities at the gallery this spring and have been testing the waters with some wonderful groups of aspiring and inspiring "artists."

This past Friday evening, 7 women and one 3-year-old gathered for our "Sip, Taste, Paint, Repeat" - with spring flowers as our theme. Our "Inspiration Wall" provided just that - ideas and reference to help us get started. The group enjoyed four "courses" - each a step of building the painting, as well as tasting a new wine and a food pairing. Part of our inspiration DID come from watching the 3-year-old - because she painted so freely and without an inner censor. We loved what she reminded all of us to do too.

Watch for opportunities to participate in upcoming "Sip, Taste, Paint, Repeat" Parties - these are great for a girls' night out, a corporate retreat, a childrens' birthday party, or any group who enjoys exercising their right brain a bit. The process is true and tried, and the sip and taste are simply icing on the creative cake!

2010 Open House Photos

Thanks to all of our featured artists (and art shoppers) during Oct., Nov. and Dec. 2010. You can check out photos from our open houses and artists receptions by clicking here. We also enjoyed featuring a few other local businesses - WineTime, Olive Twist, and Madeleine's Bakehouse - as part of our receptions.

The gallery was closed in Jan. and Feb. of 2011 - partly for inventory, partly while we were out of town working on a EDG project (and checking in with some of our out-of-town artists in the southwest), and partly to prepare for a few new events we have coming up this spring. Stay tuned.......
