The Styrous® Viewfinder: Deborah Sullivan

Last night the GLG's new satellite venture took off in dramatic fashion.

The exterior is unassuming but WOW!

Wait 'til you get inside!

Peter Dreyfus built a gallery space that is every gallery owner's dream! A ceiling hundreds of feet high (well, it's pretty high) and skylights that show the work in beautiful natural light so the color dazzles the eyes.

Working with Jan Watten of the Gray Loft Gallery, the two have assembled a stunning array of the work, old and brand new, of 12 present and past Jingletown artists. It's almost a retrospective with incite to the future.

Rhythmix ~ Radical Beauty Part 8

Yesterday the Rhythmix Cultural Works (link below) presented the 8th event in its series, Radical Beauty.

Although it was smaller in scope than previous Beauties, there were no dancers, there was art and the music played was HOT!

Papiba and Friends provided Brazilian funk, Taller Bombalele came in with its Puerto Rican Bomba, the Combo Sabroso West played some hot rhythms with congas and Christelle Durandy crooned smooth Afro-Latin Jazz with her boys backing her up. Somehow, I missed Randy and the Gypsy Boys, however.

There was something for everyone, an area for kids to do art of whatever kind they wanted and cookies to help them do it.

On Park Street in Alameda chairs were set up on the sidewalk and there was a knitting nook, yep, you didn't read it wrong, a genuine knitting nook!

Of course there was art! There has to be art in anything Rhythmix does. This time it was provided by Jessica Eastburn, Deborah Sullivan (link below) and Danielle Giudici Wallis.
