The opening reception for “Moments Like This”, an exhibition, didn’t just contain high and low notes; with Art Walk moments that were quiet and rousing, it offered, as always, LIVE action with plenty of soul and magic!
Performing LIVE Shirley 88, Shirley Smith-Yates sang “You’ve got a friend” for visitors and guests, including greyhounds, who were part of a show and tell about doing good works by featured artist Aliza Allen. 20% of her art proceeds will go to Greyhound Adoption-NW.

Moments Like This, an exhibition through August, offers a rich and varied mix of art; loosely woven together by summer time artists mesmerized by sparkling waters and fiery sunsets (“light so soft and tender, despite its brilliance” as Henri Matisse said).
Just minutes before the opening of MOMENTS LIKE THIS, art walk hostesses relax (sans shoes). Pictured left to right: Kay, Denise, Ellen, Joan, Kathy F., and Kathy B.

Gallery interns: Miss Amanda and Miss Amy
