Last year this show was a smashing success and this year it is going to be even better! Starting at 5... come by for some fantastic art starting as low as FIFTEEN DOLLARS! These pieces will make interesting Mother's Day gifts too. You need a check or cash as all the money goes directly to the artist and then ten percent of the proceeds will be donated to The Lorton Arts Foundation that gives free classes to at risk youth. [Call or email for directions to enter the building after 6:30pm.] AND as an added incentive the designer of Couture Saboteur will be there too. He will be bringing lots of new designs. If you have beads you want made up, bring them and he will make you a new piece. Please bring friends too because these artists have have worked really hard for this show! - Ricki
"Anne Marchand who blogs at Painterly Visions is having a Small Piece Art Show (one night only) in Washington , D.C.to benefit The Black Women's Agenda, Inc."

Her pieces in the show are all 5"x5" or 5"x7".
"The idea of small paintings began before the economy crashed. In 2004, Duane Keiser started the Painting A Day genre. At the time, he would create his painting -- about the size of a postcard and then post it on his blog and eBay. Starting bid was always $100. Today the starting bid for one of his small pieces......"
**************************
I hope you will all be able to come this Friday night from 6-8 (if you come at 5:30 that is fine) as there are going to be some amazing pieces of art. The artists have made new pieces just for this show and it would be great to support them and also The Black Women's Agenda, Inc. too. Remember to bring checks and/or cash as the money goes directly to the artist and also you can get a deduction for the non profit. If some of your friends have not been to the new store this is a great time to bring someone for a glass of champagne. If you have any connections to Links, or any other group that you think might want to support this organization, PLEASE send this invitation out. Or, if you are best friends with Michelle Obama you can send it to her also. It is getting very hard for these nonprofits out there in this economy. Thank you sooo much! See you Friday. And yes, there will be some new jewelry here then too. - Ricki
