How many fun art events can fit into one day? The Glendale Open Studio Tour scheduled from noon to 6 PM, was the first on my list of places to be yesterday. As a member of Artists of the Canyon, I was scheduled to set up a display at Dahl Delu's home for the Open Studio Tour with about ten other artists from our group.

At 1:30 in the afternoon I headed over to the San Fernando Valley reception for our 65th Anniversary Exhibition at the Finegood Gallery. Seeing everyone enjoying the art, the people and fellow artists renewed my love of this club and it's members. It was a great turnout with a large and enthusiastic crowd cheering as the awards were presented.

After the end of the award ceremony at SFVAC, I rushed back to the Open Studio Tour at Dahl's house. Unfortunately this event had not drawn the number of people we had hoped for but we did get a group at the end who were friendly and enthusiastic about the Tour. Perhaps next year they can get a better turn out.
But that was not the end of my art day because that night was a reception at the LA NoHo Gallery in North Hollywood were Dahl Delu was showing with a group from the Art Directors Guild. I have shown here earlier this year and Dan the curator is a tireless and enthusiastic host. It is always so important for all of us to support our local artists and art venues, so get out there and enjoy.
