New Exhibition Site

I just met with Sandra Power of Luxuriously Tall, a store catering to TALL women and teens here in the Dayton area. She has asked me to hang some of my floral pieces in her shop during the month of June. She's a lot of fun to talk to. If you're in the area, check it out. She has some gorgeous stuff (unfortunately for me-Miss Vertically Challenged) it won't fit me, but it might you! Her shop is located at 2440 Dayton-Xenia Road, Suite F in Bevercreek. You can call her at 888-259-3372. Just tell her I sent you!

Dayton's Urban Nights

I just found out that one of the galleries I'm currently exhibiting at will be featured in Dayton's Urban Nights. My gallery is the Hurricane Gallery Art Exhibit at 1146 West 3rd Street. To quote from the Dayton Daily New's website: " Urban Nights is a free downtown excursion that features self-guided tours of art galleries and studios, unique apartments and condos, and discounts at restaurants and retailers. The event also features a variety of performances by Dayton's best and brightest performing artists, including a special performance by Velvet Crush on Courthouse Square from 9-11 p.m. Close to a hundred creative places and spaces will be a part of the event, including locations throughout downtown, plus the Artists of Front Street, the Oregon District and the Wright-Dunbar Business Village. There are numerous special additions in store for the event, including the debut of City Life, a public art exhibition that will be on display downtown from May 18 to August 17. Twenty of J. Seward Johnson's world-renowned sculptures will be temporarily installed in key areas throughout downtown for the exhibition, which will feature life-sized bronze sculptures that capture human gestures in a realistic way. A World A' Fair, a celebration of diversity at the Dayton Convention Center that showcases food, dancing, and cultural exhibits, will also be a part of Urban Nights. Event patrons will get a taste of the event at a satellite stage at Dave Hall Plaza, and the festivities inside the Convention Center will take place throughout the weekend." Hope to see you there!
