Opening Reception, 9/4/09

Please excuse the poor quality of these images. I borrowed a really nice "point n shoot" camera from a friend so I wouldn't have to lug around my huge dSLR. However, I didn't have time to really get to know this little camera before using it, hence the blurry images. But, I think you can get the idea - the opening reception at Mulberry Art Studio was beyond my expectations!!!

So many friends and friends-of-friends came out for First Friday and the Vertical Creativity Collaborative Exhibit at Mulberry! It's wonderful collaborating with other artists for exhibits - we had 8 involved in this one. That means there are 8 circles of friends who stop by! Can't beat that!
My dear friend Lisa who was such an incredible help the night of the opening reception! Love ya, Lisa!
The room looked fabulous! The live saxophone music provided by Brian Wise of Inspire Studio of the Arts set the perfect atmosphere.

This is one night I'll never forget. A dream that was placed in my heart over a year ago came to life this past Friday. God is so good. I am already looking forward to the Second Annual Vertical Creativity Collaborative Exhibit at Mulberry! Next time, I hope to fill the whole gallery, both floors.
I'll post more photos from the opening reception. Blogger only allows like 5 images per post. So, more to come!
Thank you to every one who came out in support of Vertical Creativity and the 8 amazingly talented Christian artists who participated in this exhibit. If you missed the opening reception, fear not = the art is up for the whole month of September.

Mulberry & VC Partner for Art Exhibit

After months of planning, it's finally here! The first annual Vertical Creativity artists collaborative exhibit at Mulberry Art Studios in downtown Lancaster, PA. Click here for more details and location.

Here are a few samples of the work of the eight talented artists who love Jesus and explore their creativity through that love.

The exhibit will be at Mulberry for the entire month of September, however - please join us for the Opening Reception this evening, Friday, 9/4 from 5:00-8 (or 9:00)pm. Live jazz music by Brian Wise, wine and cheese, and pottery demonstrations by our two exhibit potters, Connie Rae and Chris Gold.
Tonight's opening reception is in conjunction with Lancaster's very popular First Friday events! And the weather is stellar! Please come out and enjoy a night celebrating the arts and our local Christian artists!! Thanks be to God for the inspiration for this event and all the strength He has provided those of us involved in making this exhibit happen!
Hope to see you there!
