our art and music creative live/work space, had it's very first
[soft] gallery/studio space/house warming event on july 29, 2011 :)))
i took some pictures on my camera and shared the role of photographer with many willing volunteers throughout the course of the night. (i've posted my favorites below, although there were many more.)
thank you photographer friends
and to all the people who were willing to be photographed :)
we moved into the marina creative loft space in may 2011
you can see previous posts on this blog and read further about:
the process of finding a space, writing a proposal, a small group of friends who worked together to assemble, construct, and repair the space, my personal visions, goals, and other rambled creative ideas regarding the importance of the creative community in my life, friends, inspirations, networks, pursuit of dreams and happiness, etc...
as an additional note, this event was also on the last day of my summer teaching job as graphic design/digital photography instructor to 5th-9th graders -- which was an amazing experience! so after a deliriously joyful and crazy 6 weeks of costume wearing, camp spirit song-singing, non-stop digital creativity, team activities, sharing, inspiring, showing and telling...
i came home, threw on a colorful outfit and topped it with an indian feather headdress...
and then threw the most epic private event i knew how with all of our closest friends!
thank you to everyone who brought drinks and food to share :)
and
thank you to those who left us a heartfelt suggestion in the color jam suggestion box :)
we had several outstanding friends who performed for us as solo musicians, as well as bands. myself, ryan, and won showcased our art, with a special last minute addition of an amazing piece of art by one of my dear friend and former santa cruz fair housemate, taylor blackmore. friends flew up from los angeles and orange county, able to join us for the festivities from far and wide. neighbors joined :) a lovely bartender friend, guia, made some delicious fresh sangria with me :)
the night was a complete success!
thank you to everyone for being a part of our ever-expanding creative community,
for inspiring art and music wherever you go, and being our friends :)
