"Art After Dark" at the Long Island Art League

I am so pleased to be one of the participating artists in this months "Art After Dark."  For those of you who are not familiar with what it is, the Art League of Long Island each month opens up their doors for a evening free of charge (but a small donation to the Art League would be nice). They have two demonstrating artists and other participating arts who show examples of their art. April's demonstrations will be by a cartoonist Richard Torrey and a jewelry designer Dana Lagos.
This month it is held on  April 26th from 7-9 PM. If you can come, stop in and say hi to me in the gallery! Vivien
