A Bit of Sharing


Last night, the Studio Group from the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston rocked at a Mixing the Medium exhibit and event at the Colton & Farb Gallery. Fortunately, no one listened to the weather reports. There was a crowd of close to 300 impassioned collectors sipping Hudson Ferus Vodka and Saint Arnolds to the sound of DJ “The Dakota.” The exhibit was curated by Philip Berry and Philip Beck.

Artists included were Paul Horn, Angelbert Metoyer, Roberto del Rio, Michael Meazell, Katy Anderson + Patrick Medrano- Mary Ann Strandell’s work was exhibited, but she was unable to attend. What a great mix of art to feast the eyes upon! Other gallery artists present were - David Graeve, Rania Daniel, Sharon Kopriva, and Alfredo Scaroina. Faces in the crowd- Jo and Jim Furr, Artists Nancy Kienholz and Dan Allison, Juanita King and Ewing King, Susan and Art Seifert, Rowena and Buddy Steves, Poppi Massey, Craig Massey, Alice and Frank McWilliams, Terri and Gordon Goodman, and so many more.

The exhibit will up through March 5th and we invite you to stop by on Saturday from 10- 5:30 pm at 2445 North Boulevard.

 

This was supposed to be my getaway weekend to Los Angeles. At a Neurofibromatosis event at the Junior League, here in Houston, I bid on this fabulous package to travel to LA and spend Valentine’s Day at the Ellen DeGeneres Show taping and have a fabulous VIP Warner Brothers Lot Tour. Mea culpa, something came up- and I had to change my plans. Not to worry. Now, I don’t have to miss the Dominic Walsh Dance Theater perform at the Hobby Center. Their performances are so special! I’ve been a fan of Dominic Walsh since he was a principal dancer with the Houston Ballet.

We are so fortunate to have so many talented individuals living, working, and staying in this city. I urge everyone to take advantage of the opportunities we are afforded here- some of the best are free.
