The Lillstreet Art Center Holiday Open House is coming quickly…
and it’s the perfect time to spruce up the joint a bit. ‘Tis the season.
In fact, the Opening Reception is this Friday night from 6:00pm-10:00pm!!!
And I’ve completed my self-imposed remodeling just in time!

I decided to “take one for the team” and tackle the common area hallway.
We’ve had a bit of artist turnover in the studios, the bios were out-of-date,
and the place was looking a little beat up. Not so inviting… so it’s time for a change.
A couple coats of fresh paint. Some updated artists biographies & signage.
Voila’… whole new look to kick off the holiday shopping season!

A couple masks to greet our holiday shoppers. Always  friendly. Always perky…
with shifty glass eyeballs to bring a smile to the kid inside everyone!

As well as some tiled wall pieces in hallway in different sizes, colors & styles!

MARTHA – So good to hear from you. And thank you for your kind words. You’re too sweet. My art fair season has been going good – I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas?! One last “Holiday Home Show” this coming Sunday with my friend & metalsmith Sarah Chapman – and then I’m done for the year! Good to hear you’ve been very busy in the studio too. Glad to hear that your commission work is keeping you busy… not to mention that little tyke to scramble after!!! Have a wonderful holiday season. And thanks for checking in. GARY
