One last First Friday reception…and this is it. It went well…with a good amount of attendees and a handful of sales…There were, of course, many other art events going on simultaneously, but we were quite pleased after all…The weather did not cooperate fully…It was bitterly cold and many folks were not ready to wander the streets in such conditions…

We were nice and cozy inside ArtHaus66…Friends visited for a long while and a few will come back later in the month to pick up some artwork…

As for us we are looking forward to focusing our efforts in other ventures more suited to the current economic trends…It won’t be a huge shift, really…just kind of a makeover…

Do visit us at www.arthaus66.com There will be many new additions, changes and interesting tidbits to read…The site is easier than ever to navigate and it is constantly being tested and improved…

It is a fact: the view is better from a sitting, comfortable position….particularly after a couple of hours of admiring the fabulous artwork displayed in Self Evident.


The Saturday reception took place without a glitch. The guests enjoyed some snacks while they visited with two of our artists, Carol Sanchez and Ali Gallo, who were kindly in attendance. Everyone raved about the work…Carol’s handmade boxes consisting of mezzotints and copper plates, were all sold within the first hour…They are indeed very collectable items…and there are more to come during our First Friday reception…


Ali’s sculptures looked impeccable and perfectly complemented Carol’s prints. The show was extremely coherent and, although succinct, it came together flawlessly…


The biggest surprise of the night were Paige William’s panels…As it often happens with abstract art, they elicited a strong reaction…and I believe that they left quite a lingering impression in some of the guests…In their simplicity, Paige’s paintings are very intriguing and beautiful…We are curious to see how they will be received during First Friday, since the crowd consists of very different people from what we had last night…


All in all, the space looked beautiful with the new additions and changes… It’s coming into its own…
