Urban Nights Open House a Success!



Yesterday's Urban Nights Open House was a great success! In case you've never been downtown to an Urban Nights event they are a lot of fun. Many of the downtown Dayton art galleries, living spaces and restaurants are open for touring and have specials for the evening. The trolley bus circulates throughout downtown taking you from venue to venue. There are street performances and music throughout downtown. This event is held twice a year in May and September so if you missed last Friday look for the event this coming September.
We had a great crowd at the Cannery Art & Desgin Center. Jim Evans and his band did a fabulous job of entertaining us with his smooth, soothing voice. We had over 200 people walk through the gallery to buy art, look at art, listen to Jim and enjoy a glass of wine.

My gallery space was hopping with friends, art collectors and new clients interested in seeing what I have been working on. The photograph is of my latest commissioned work. It's big, 5x7 feet. It's going to the frame shop any day. By the way my framer is a great guy, David Crowell of Custom Frame Services on Wayne Avenue. He does a fabulous job of framing art!
