Spontaneous Fun Day Sunday

Then I had an idea.  I asked a friend who came to see my photos who happened to be a musician if he’d play music outside the gallery not so much to “perform” but to hang out and play.   Sure enough, people would hear the music and started noticing the gallery while we were just having fun making noise.  We decided to do it again on Sunday, which was the very last day of my show and invited some other friends who played instruments to join.  The rest was magic.  I love being around musicians when they’re randomly jamming.  It was an almost spontaneous gathering of friends just having fun in the community.  In the end, we had as many people walk into the gallery as we did for the opening reception.
