This Friday February 6th, 2009 will be the opening reception for "A Celebration of African

and is a celebration of Black History Month. The show runs from 3pm - 8pm and has many

A VIP reception for networking professionals starts at 6pm in the Russell Gallery
and tickets for this portion of the show will be on sale for ten dollars.
Free food and drinks will be provided to all attendees of the VIP reception.
One of the artists that is gracing the Gallery with his work is BeloZro.
This Detroit bred artist can be described as Neo-Calligraphic with hints of Realism and Impressionism. He will be showing six pieces in this show
and has been featured in credible art galleries from L.A to Detroit.

Another artist in the show is Christopher Batten. His work is the result of the journeys into
his mind and is featured on the front of our flier. His goal is to use traditional techniques andvivid color to convey his thoughts and emotions to the viewer.
These artists are just two of the fantastic artists you can meet this Friday at the Gallery beginning at 3pm.
