Art Venture

Earlier this month I photographed
the girls' reception for the Girl Scouts
Art Venture Art Show.

Art Venture is an annual event that
allows girl scouts to work with local
artists to create artwork in various mediums.
I've participated in the event the past 3 years
and it's a wonderful program for the girls,
the organization, and the artists.

The girls' reception allows the girls to see
the artwork they've created hanging in the
Hot Shops gallery downtown and also lets
them share their work with their friends and families.

I had such a great time photographing the girls
as they excitedly ran up to the pieces they helped create,
pointing, laughing, and beeming with pride.
I watched one little girl run right up to a painting,
smile as she saw her name listed as one of the "artists" and
then spin around in front of the painting in her bright pink dress.
That sums up the energy of the night.
Fun. Inspiring. Priceless.

The Art Venture Auction is being held tonight from 7-10PM at HotShops. Hope to see you there!
