I will be attending an exhibit opening tonight and a gallery walk tomorrow night.  These both take place in a small area of Oklahoma City called the Paseo District.

At one time, this neightborhood was full of 100 year old slum residences and drugs.  About 10 years ago, artists began moving in and reclaiming the buildings.  After lots of renovation, it is beginning to look like a colorful New England market street.  There is a long way to go to claim the entire area but people are flocking there for the atmosphere.  Art, street cafes, potted plants and awnings are creating a unique and colorful novelty and it is the artists who have done it. 

I am proud to be an artist!
