2. A door to one of the studios (so curious to see what's behind!)
3. A confusing (but so cool!) M/W sign on a door leading to nowhere specific (actually, since I posted this, I have found out it leads to no other place than the restroom... indeed, that is somewhere VERY specific, shame on me!)
4-5. A few of the paintings featured in the main showroom
A Night at the Art Gallery
This Saturday I attended the Secret City event organized by JoMar Visions. If you have never been to this gem of a gallery, I would highly recommend attending one of their upcoming events! In addition to displaying great local artists and providing studios for them to work in, the gallery is famed for its eclectic environment and deconstructed industrial feel (which is exactly why a great friend of mine will have her upcoming wedding there!)
About the Secret City
This particular event was a tribute to Mark Kistler and his TV show "Secret City". The artists featured on Saturday included Arianne Venable, Aziz Anzabi, Alexa Aldana, Elizabeth Arlington, Ernest Lizcano, Frieda Henson, Gilbert Ruiz, Iwona Jankowski, Joana Esteves, Jim Adams, Marie E. Casamayor, Mark Roden, Raymond Dunlap, Sarah Cloutier, and Scott Altruiste Cravens. I especially loved Mark Roden's abstracts (some of which I featured below!).
A few months back, a co-worker of mine convinced me to join my company's Spartan Race team. He didn't talk it up much: he mentioned it's a long-ish run with a few fun obstacles. You know, no big deal. Something someone who runs as much as me should complete more than easily (read, you don't really need to train for it). Ha ha ha.
