ArtPrize
Come on up to the second floor mezzanine level – and say hello! I plan to be at SanChez most of the evening (OK – there’s a couple little receptions I’d love to get over to briefly, if I can …) – but my exhibit surely is ready for your enjoyment!
From 5pm on – I will be upstairs with 18 canvases pieces and a large screen television generously on loan from Appletree Christian Learning Center. Three multimedia shows are running on the screen – West Michigan, wild birds and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore!
Here is a peek at Sleeping Bear (high-quality video – please be patient – but worth the wait!).
Tune in your radio on Monday morning (September 21) at 10:30 am to 1340AM, WJRW. I will be a guest on The Tony Gates Show – chatting about my photography work, ArtPrize and more!
Tony has been on the local radio for 24 years, and his new talk show gives a positive view on the stories happening right here in West Michigan.
