We Are Almost There

I guess Summer is really over. I always get a little sad to see Summer end. I'll get over it. After all I am too busy to mope.

We continue to work on the store and prepare for our upcoming events at the same time. This weekend the gallery area of the store was opened up. We are almost there. Our next push is to have the classroom completed sometime this upcoming weekend. I will keep you posted as I know you are eager to see it and have asked when it will be open. We are almost there and I promise it will be worth the wait. All of our supplies will be directly across from the classroom for easy access. If you recall, classes took place in a wide open space and all of supplies were exposed to everyone. Now when you take a class you will have a space to yourself.

Remember to mark your calendars... Saturday, October 3rd is or "Opening Night" the same night of the South Pasadena ArtFest. 5pm to 10pm. Our gallery will have a show of Joe Carrion's paintings and artwork. Joey is a local artist, teacher at the store as well as other locations around Los Angeles. He also works at Zinnia. His work was recently showcased at Vroman's in Pasadena.

ArtFest Event Highlights:
· The California Art Club South Pasadena Plein Air Paint-out Exhibition
· Art Walk 8 galleries/studios

If you haven't had a chance to come to ArtFest you should try to make it as it is great night to become familiar with the galleries located in Sout Pasadena. As promised in a previous post, here is the link for additional information: http://www.southpaschamber.com/

One more reminder that any art panels still out must be returned to the store by the 1st week of October.

Live in COLOR.
