The new space opened up last night with a show of the work of painter John Vandreal who mentored Willamette Student Rachel Sabin in the art of oil painting. Mary Lou and Alan (mostly Alan on the building front…) have built a new space for special exhibitions and the space was jammed last night and glowed in the dark, as did the gallery owner:
The crowd was interested and enthusiastic looking at both John and Rachel’s paintings (that’s Rachel with the red earring)
and this gentleman was especially pleased standing near the portrait of himself that John painted of him:
a fun new venue, and a fun evening!!
