This was The Shadow's first visit to this gallery. When The Shadow arrived, he was welcomed warmly and invited by many of the artists to take pictures of their works. The gallery's owner, Lon Richter, was also very welcoming and accomodating.

In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, there was plenty of wine, cheese, chips and salsa. Music was also provided by a three piece band of musicians playing guitar, banjo, and harmonica.

This exhibit will be showing through the end of June 2007. Lon also informed The Shadow that he is offering 15% off for framing for any piece bought during the current exhibit. You can go to their website for more information.
