A running account of life in the gallery and arts district

First Friday in January


Well, it was not the biggest turnout we have had but people were still coming in the doors after 9:00 and wallets were open. Over three hundred people came out on a rainy, cold Oregon winter night to enjoy art and each other.
Wine flowed at OPUS6IX as Mitch from Perugino served an array of fine wines by the glass.
Anne Teigen was there informing people about her paintings. Jerry Dame Sr. held forth in his wonderfully humble way, and Bev Soasey came over from Jacob's Gallery and socialized till closing,
Many newcomers and people who had not been in in a few months were surprised by the new work and by the news of upcoming events, such as the gift to the Museum.
We locked up about 9:30 and headed off to Perugino for late night nosh.
Cheers
