Pat Ortman introduces Emily Wax
About 60 people came through the exhibit on the evening of the reception. About 30 stayed to have a lovely, lively conversation with Emily Wax and the members of the GGRF Board about the girls of of Ethiopia and Girls Gotta Run. Mary Kay Zuravleff and her daughter Eliza poured wine that Mary Kay and her husband Gary Zizka donated for the event; others drank Ethiopian coffee donated by the young men who own and operate the Coffeehouse, Adam, Javier and Ryan; and everyone nibbled on cheese, fruit, veggies and brownies, catered by Javier. We sold several boxes of notecards, some memberships and t-shirts as well as one print. Several other paintings have since then also sold, to people who have contacted us by email after seeing the exhibit there. We have also received numerous compliments on the way the exhibit brightens up the space and on the creative way in which we have mounted the art. It is very cheerful, to say the least. There are still several days left before Christmas so we are keeping a good thought for more sales of all kinds. In the meantime, here are a few photos of the exhibit and the reception.
