This past Wednesday, after an ordinary day of doing errands and making business calls, I decided to clear my head and attend the grand reopening of SAAG (Southern Arizona Arts Guild) Gallery in their new digs in Joesler Village, 1745 E. River Rd., #135. A quote attributed to Picasso came to mind. "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Indeed it did.
Myriad art (paintings, sculpture, jewelry, wood carving & turning and much more), all designed by Southern Arizona artists, was displayed -- artfully of course -- throughout the freshly painted, spacious gallery.
Tasty treats were offered, courtesy of nearby restaurants.
Melodies from The Great American Songbook filled the front patio, thanks to singer AJ and piano man Chris.
Even the weather gifted guests on this balmy evening, with light breezes that caressed our shoulders.
