8 Days Away! Opening Party Now Scheduled for Wed, May 19 at 136 Degraw Street

As seen in the NY Observer May 12 - May 23

Hello all,

We are now 8 days away from our 2010 May tour and we are firing on all cylinders! Expect to see an updated tour map today and every day leading up to the tour. The downloadable online map will contain extra information from our postcard mailers that you may be seeing popping up in Brooklyn and New York City. In addition to the map, interest points, and names of the artists, you will also find a listing by medium should you be interested in a particular art form.

We look forward to seeing you there!  In advance of the actual weekend tour, you now have a chance to get a sneak peak at som of the artists at one of the studio tour locations.

One of our main sponsors, Prudential Douglas Elliman – The Galluccio Group, has organized an Opening Party at the TopStar Gallery location on the map, 136 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, Ny 11231.  This opening night cocktail reception will take place on Wednesday, May 19 from 6PM-9PM.  Not only will you preview and also have the ability to purchase art, you will also be walking in an historic row house that has been converted into 4 distinct condos.  The location is amazing and you will be able to witness fabulous NYC views.  Plan out your evening and stick around for dinner on Columbia Street at Alma, or pop into Margaret Palca Bakes, another one of our tour sponsors, for a decadent dessert, divine coffee selections and additional artwork that decorates their walls.

Read below for more details of our Opening Party and the actual listing at 136 Degraw Street.  We look forward to seeing you all there!
