Art Party

On Saturday evening Larry and I attended an art opening and blog-a-versary at the Jack Rutberg Gallery on La Brea.  Debra Levine invited us to  the 5 year anniversary of her blog, arts-meme where she focuses on many artistic happenings around Los Angeles, especially dance events.  The opening at the Rutberg Gallery was a centennial tribute to artist, FRANCISCO ZÚÑIGA.

We've known Debra for years, through our involvement with the Los Angeles Conservancy and particularly with the Modern Committee. The gallery was jam-packed.  The exhibition was marvelous, including many aspects of Zúñiga's career.  We ran into many friends and met some new people too!  It was a real "Hollywood" event!  Congratulations to Debra and the success of her blog!

As you can see, we took lots of photographs of ourselves with friends.  It was definitely a snappy evening!
