    The opening reception succeeded beyond my wildest expectations! The show continues through Nov. 13th, open seven days a week, with the added bonus of performances and crafts-sellers on Saturdays and Sundays.

    We had about 100 visitors on Monday--IMO quite remarkable for the second day of an art show.

    250+ visitors on Saturday; 350 + on Sunday. We've also had over 100 people each weekday when visitors can ONLY see the art. The gallery will be open 2--8 this Mon.--Fri.; 10--8 Sat. and 12--8 Sun. with music and craft vendors on the weekend. The closing reception will be Sunday evening; then, after a couple of days of art pick-up, the space once again becomes a vacant store for rent :-(

    Today is the last day for our pop-up show. Over 450 people attended yesterday. I'm so happy to have been associated with this wonderful event! Come and see it, even if you live way far away on the other side of Empire Blvd :-)
