The Studio is becoming synonymous, for better or worse, as a place where you never know what will be going on. This month is no exception. According to Wikipedia, "A
salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring
host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste
and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation". Second Sunday Salons are beginning July 14th, with jazz wizard Neal Martin on keyboard, and his unique interpretations (and encyclopedic knowledge!) of the Great American Songbook. There will be refreshments, special sales, and the courtyard will be open for your enjoyment, too, weather permitting.
Sunset Watching Parties continue to be popular, and the next one is this coming Tuesday, July 16th. Join the crowd on the top of the municipal parking garage in Laconia (the entrance is off Beacon Street East) around 7:30 for bubbles, hula hoops, sidewalk chalk and who knows what else. The next one is in two weeks, on July 30th...see you there!
Toni-Lee Sangastiano's exhibit "Ballyhoo: Sideshow Banners and Circus Portraits" has been popular, and is in the gallery through the 26th, when there is a closing reception for the artist from 5-7pm. There will be refreshments and music, and Toni-Lee herself will be here to answer questions.
I'm expecting two shipments this week of brand new goodies for the shop. Think party, party, party! I'll share pictures when I can....
