Arte de Eros

Opening Night at the Showroom
What a night! Overall, we had about 300 people through the door. A whole bunch of different galleries were represented with some very positive expression of interest in Eros and his work. Lots of artists, lots of people from all over town - community activists, designers, photographers, arts educators, and loads of other artisans. Some TV celebs, online content producers, and other film industry people were here as well.
