Of course I cannot mention the success of the night without a shout-out to a few other people who helped make it happen. Our friends from Coquettish Cupcakes donated delicious treats that were summarily devoured throughout the audience. Their pretty colours and arrangement really rounded out our brightly themed room and were the perfect addition to our party. As an admitted cream cheese icing addict I have to say that my red velvet cupcake did not disappoint, at once satisfying while leaving me wanting more. Similarly, our musical guest Land of Deborah managed to fit into the atmosphere of our celebration like lock and key. Her sweet, ethereal voice was marvelous and created the perfect environment in which to look at the art. Deborah’s easy smile, help with a pesky microphone and soothing delivery of both catchy original songs and some old favourites certainly did not go amiss. Thank you both!
If you were unable to make it to the Opening last night, don’t worry, there is still a chance to come down to the Roundhouse and check out our amazing collection of donated works. The exhibition will be open until Friday, August 16th at 5pm. At that time we will be taking down the works and rolling them up for our ride out! If there is a piece of work you just can’t get out of your head, don’t leave it to chance! You can check for the artist’s information on the back of their work or alternately check up on our Flickr where we are in the process of uploading photographs of and information about all 979 pieces of work.
Much obliged,
