I just want to let you know that this Sunday, March 13th, I will be posting a very special article about Sona Mirzaei, a local artist who just returned from participating, in the Elephant Parade in Copenhagen. The Elephant Parade is an open air art exhibition of 100 fiberglass elephant statues painted by 100 artists chosen from all over the world. In the past century Asian elephant populations have plummeted from over 250,000 to less than 35,000. This is an extremely important cause….please come back and visit Sunday after 1:00 pm to read the article and see photos too. Time for the Weekend Update…..
Don’t forget to RSVP, email events@theg2gallery.com.
