News and Congratulations

Yesterday was THE quietest First Thursday I've seen in a while - maybe ever! Even Occidental Square galleries were slow, although a (small) crowd gathered outside to enjoy the music.

C'est la vie - I guess even the free espresso at ArtXchange couldn't draw the hung-over post-4th crowd.

On a lighter note, congratulations to Roq La Rue for winning the NWSource People's Pick for Favorite Gallery. Congratulations to the other finalists as well: Faire Gallery Cafe, Frye Art Museum, Gallery 110, Henry Art Gallery, OKOK Gallery, Oasis, Seattle Art Museum, Simply Frames & A Miner Gallery, and Vain.
