You can take the art with you!

Gunilla Klingberg has made a poster of her "mandala" design that visitors can take home with them to remember this beautiful work long after it is gone from Moore's windows. With this piece it is ok to not only touch the art, you can have one of your very own too! Get yours now...everybody wants one!

Scenes from opening day at Moore

Everyone is wearing them. The ever stylish white shoe cover known as the "bootie"

the very difficult stand and cover shoes with booties move

sitting is much easier if you can find room on the bench

That's All Folks!

That's me with artists Regina Silveira and Virgil Marti!

The Gallery is officially OPEN. That means that all those finishing touches, all the buffing, all the sweeping, all the cleaning, right down to all of the specially placed light fixtures, it's all done. And don't think that all of that hard work has gone unnoticed, as I'm writing this the gallery is still full of interested art goers here for a meet the artists brunch.


And possibly a few people just here for the food. But mostly those who really enjoy the printed image in many forms.
There is a tinge of sadness dampening all of the excitement. Today is my last day here at the Moore Galleries. I can't tell you how much I've loved this experience. This was a great way to end it.

Even though I'll be gone, Philagrafika is still continuing in venues all over the city. Check out their website and broaden your horizons a little.

Forging Ahead
