Thank you South Park!! More than 500 people walked through our door last night to see The People of South Park, our second art exhibit featuring the photography of Chad Thompson (my husband and co-owner of Monkey C Media). For this show, Chad decided to honor the people of our neighborhood. He pulled the show together in 30 days, shooting each person in less than five minutes as they filtered in and out of the studio in a two-week period (the lighting and backdrop was set and ready to go). He mounted every image on foam core and ended up choosing 21 black-and-white photographs for the show. This one is of Marcie from Pixie Salon. If you didn’t get a chance to come by, the show will remain on display until December 4, 2009.

We gave away 400 plus cupcakes, and of course we couldn’t have an art opening without beer and wine. We met so many wonderful people (and dogs) in the South Park community and beyond. We had cupcakes for people and doggie cookies for our furry friends (Monkey C Media is dog friendly).

Gregory Page, accompanied by an incredibly talented pianist Sky (not sure of his last name) played a phenomenal show!! The night was, as one guest said: “magical,” a full moon lit the night sky as people meandered about from our gallery to Halcyon Tea next door, sharing smiles and handshakes. Bread and Jam played a great set as well, we really had our corner of South Park jumping and we can’t wait to do it again!

Stay tuned for updates on our next event!!
