Encore Art Reception at Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’Arte
this Thursday, January 18, 2007

A good time was had and disco was celebrated at Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’Arte in McKinney on Saturday night in spite of the cold winter weather.

Gallery guests were treated to wine, snacks, and lots of disco music, which kept everyone happy and warm.

Due to last weekend’s inclimate weather, Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’Arte will present an encore debut of “Coming Full Circle” on Thursday, January 18, from 7pm to 10pm.

“Coming Full Circle” is a collaborative art exhibit from mother/daughter mixed media team Lois Thompson and Susan Hanson. Lois Thompson received her MA in Printmaking, and her daughter Susan Hanson, a 16-year McKinney resident, received her BFA in Art History. “Coming Full Circle” is the team’s sixth collaborative art exhibit. Most recently, Thompson and Hanson were guest artists at Cerulean Gallery in Dallas.

This talented duo has no limits to their creativity. Intaglio and digital prints; copper leaf and pastel; paper and metal; encaustic; oil and acrylic paints; found and vintage objects are among the mixture of media this team uses as together they create unique, expressive works of art.

Please be sure to join us in the gallery on Thursday, and don’t forget to wear your disco clothes so you can dance the night away under our disco mirror ball! Prizes for the grooviest costumes will be awarded.

Carmela Winery will be in the gallery on Thursday evening to serve you their very best wines. And just across the street at Cadillac Pizza Pub, Delta blues band, KM Williams, will be blasting out the tunes. Alternative Furnishings and Market Square Antiques will also be extending their hours on Thursday evening.

Co-sponsors of the reception are Hotel Whiskey Aviation LLC, Town Square Lending LLC, A Twist of Lime, Alternative Furnishings, BLING!, Cadillac Pizza Pub, Carmela Winery, Market Square Antiques, and Market Street.

We look forward to seeing you at Galleria d’Arte on January 18, 2007, 7pm to 10pm - and remember, it’s never a party without a disco mirror ball.
