Center City District Gallery Night
2008-05-15 18:24:00
Well if you didn't get a chance to go to this month (April 18th) Gallery Night , I strongly advised you to go to the next one.Chris and I had a fabulous time gallery-hopping around Rittenhouse/Center City . We meet some really interesting people and got a chance to visit some galleries that are normally not open to the public.I also found out about couple really good workshops, if you want to get back into drawing, painting, etc?.Notables were: Plastic Club Workshop and the Philadelphia Sketch Club. I also meant this guy there that use to be a computer expert, until he went back to his first love which is painting. He told me to Google him and of course I forgot his name. (He told me I would, dang-it he is good).We also attended the City Paper After-Party that follow the Gallery Night, which had free appetizer and drinks special at Vango 116 South 18th Street. Good times!http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyPhila delphia
