Funky Friday: A Few Of My Favorites

Today I am taking part in a hanging. Helping Kevin hang the next art show for the local arts group. The community has four high rise towers with about 250 apartments in each building, and a freestanding community center, with offices, meeting rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, a nice gym, a bowling alley, and a private restaurant and bar. Technically the bar has to be open to the public, but security won't let you through the gate unless you live here or are the guest of someone who does live here.  There is one long, probably 60 foot (about 20 meter) wall that serves as a gallery, along with several other spaces. 

There are six spaces in the restaurant that feature art from the arts group.  I think this is a special space, that deserves specific attention from the displaying artists.  Several months ago, I proposed a photo display of images captured in markets, and the co-chairs of the arts group gave me the go ahead. In all I had eleven photos printed, and I selected the six best. They are printed 11 by 14 inches, matted and framed to 16 by 20. They will be up for about a month. Then they will go on a blank wall in our kitchen.
