Celebrations - Past and Present

The Annual Art Walk in October brought a good crowd. Under splendid sunshine, old and new friends of the Courtyard Gallery mingled with the gallery artists. We all celebrated the exhibition opening of our guest artist, Nel Ivancich. Take a look at our "Guest Artist" page to see Nel's latest work.

Here are a few images from the day.

At the start of the 2008 art season, we had the pleasure of welcoming local metal artist Dore Capitani to our gallery. Below are a few images from this happy occasion. If you would like to see more of Dore's work, click HERE.

January 2008: Reception for our cherished guest artist, Patricia Krebs. Patricia and her husband Emilio have become members at large of our Courtyard group. Patricia loves to exhibit in our gallery space - and we love to have her. Her new work is fresh, innovative, and always makes you think. Never got to play their instruments, though - too many visitors. So Patricia promised us another party at the conclusion of her exhibition in February - and maybe then she and Emilio will grace our space with their incredible voices and their astonishing talent as composers as well as performers.

Below are a few snap shots of what was a lovely, lively afternoon.

Reception for Judith's exhibition opening "CROSS/ROADS" and the 10th Annual Wine Tasting and Art Walk Event. Great turnout. Thanks to all the friends of the Courtyard gallery for coming again to see our new work and celebrate with us. Special thanks to Janice and Michael, Amy and Paul. And thanks to Dotti who entertained us well with her violin. This was the first Gallery event without our beloved member Claire Hughes.

Reception to honor our new guest artist, Sabrina Verney. Sabrina's work will be on exhibit through the month of July. We had a good crowd and enjoyed each other's company, as always.

Kathryn Cheney demonstrates her stone painting. We had a great crowd and people enjoyed themselves as always.

Pictures from our Holiday Party at the Gallery on Thursday, 12/1/05. We were blessed to have Chuck ALVAREZ and his friends perform some extraordinary music for us. Lots of friends of the arts and of Chuck's music came. Carol, Brenda, Debbie and Trish provided outstanding food and drink. And I had our new business cards ready. We all had a grand time.
