New Zone welcomes you back
to the Downtown Cultural District
Welcome back again, New Zone Fans!
I would like to thank all the New Zone members and community non-member artists who exhibited in the recent "Salon du Peuple" (Salon of the People) exhibition and all those who came out to enjoy it.
The opening reception was a huge success, and we had to start flipping gallery lights off and on to get people to leave at 10 pm.
I would also like to thank all of our patrons who bought a piece or two from the exhibition for making it our best sales month ever.
We have planned some big events to finish off the rest of the year.
Again, thanks for making The New Zone Gallery a happening place in the "Cultural District of Downtown".
