Arts Fund Gallery Show

So yesterday I went to the "champagne preview" (whatever happened to "opening"?) of Bright Young Things at the Santa Barbara Arts Fund. Five of my recent pieces were featured in the show, and there was a great turnout for the opening. I also designed and installed the wall signage. I was especially impressed with the work of Christine Gray, Warren Schultheis, and Ethan Turpin. Another perk was getting to see my friend and former co-worker David Kilpatrick, whose work also featured in the show. He's in the process of moving to Oregon so as not to be discriminated against for wearing socks with his Birkenstocks. Unfortunately, since this was cryptically dubbed a private "champagne preview", I didn't think to invite some people I would have liked to be there. But there will be a closing reception of sorts, on Friday, September 15, from 5:00 - 9:00. From now till then you can see all the great art on display from Noon till 5pm.
