Work In Progress 5

One Night Only

WORK IN PROGRESS ART SHOW A HUGE SUCCESS!

On Friday, July 15, 2005, 7 artists & 300 guests converged on a small picture framing shop & created Jackson Hole history. Full Circle Frameworks was converted into hip gallery space to display 50 original works of art -- a minor miracle in itself. A 6-ft by 8-ft panel of masonite was transformed into an amazing original work of art in front of the crowd as they enjoyed complementary drinks & food courtesy of Red Bull & Burger Boat. A mellow soundtrack to the evening was provided by DJ King Weep of FOUR4 Productions.

While Jackson's western art scene is well-established, its underground art has remained under-exposed & its artists underappreciated. Until now. Wine & cheese were nonexistant, as were dress codes, cliche track lighting & the stuffiness that's typical to local art openings. This was an opening for the rest of us.

Renowned pro snowboarder Bryan Iguchi pretty much summed it up: "That was one of the most amazing things I've ever been a part of!"

That was the first of the Work In Progress shows and we have not slowed down since! 

WORK IN PROGRESS 5... NOT TO BE MISSED!
