365 Day 281 -- part one

two-part blog entry...an opening and a closing

I have to make today's blog entry in two parts because there are lots of photos.

Part One: Opening Reception
Dia de los Muertos | Day of the Dead
Starkweather Arts Center
Romeo, MI

My friend Juana Moore has a wonderful painting in this group show and we went out to the opening reception on Friday night.

Juana and her painting.

a closer look at Juana's painting

I love photographing people taking photographs. Here is Juana shooting her painting.

Oh look -- our friend Lisa Grix arrived!

Curator of the show -- Heather Hansma -- is interviewed.

Artists Heather Hansma and Jayme Ludwig.

Lisa Grix's new "coffin boxes"!

street view -- LOOK! -- a band -- and an art opening!

one of the windows

You can see Juana's painting from the street!

This is the band: The Hand in the Ocean. They are really great!

Oh look! Jason Driscoll/Kill Taupe arrived! I was snapping photos rapid fire at this point. Juana is saying, "You know she is just going to keep taking pictures until we do something."

...so they hammed it up a bit
