They share a large backyard. This first exhibition featured a group show of paintings, a swingin' d.j., a "live" painter actually doing a performance painting, vintage prints, drinks on the patio, etc. It was happenin'.

Mear One - Painting PerformanceMany of our artist friends were showing their work and in attendance, including Dennis Larkins, Joe Vaux, Jenny Lens, etc. We arrived on the early side, around 7:30 pm. By the time we left at 9, people were positively streaming into the space. Apparently, art shows are the new hip hangout.
