Post-Valentine Party/Artists' Reception
Otherwise known as "Let's Do Something in February to Stimulate our own Economy, Party." Well, we definitely stimulated something....not exactly sure how many attended, but we were very busy until we kicked out the last person to leave, I mean "asked" the last person to leave (very nicely of course :) around 10pm. Lots of artists, customers, friends, family and neighbors all enjoyed good food, great wine and wonderful entertainment! Not to mention all the amazing original art that we had the pleasure of experiencing from our own talented artists! The pics are up and running...enjoy!

First Annual Chesterfield - Art Gallery Hop
If you missed it well, you missed it! But not to worry, we are already planning the Second Annual Chesterfield - Art Gallery Hop, for October 2009. Stay tuned...it will only be bigger and better. I believe we had between 150-200 people come thru these doors that night which turned out to be a lovely evening altogether! New art, artists, food, drink, entertainment and a lot of fun was the on the agenda and we did not disappoint...the only complaint was, it should have been longer. Our scheduled time frame was 5pm to 9pm - people started coming around 4:30 and it slowed just a bit around 9:30 - the last of our guests ended up leaving about 10:30pm! Next year will be longer...enjoy some current pics from this event!
