Full hallway at TPN Gallery Walls reception

TPN’s spring artist reception had its largest turnout  in its ten year history this week. Featuring the work of five local, diverse artists, the hallways were full and the art was selling. The art included the work of Jeremy Mangan, Renate Ruby, Lee Berry, Tia Matthies and Kiki MacInnis.

The TPN Gallery Walls reception is a community event, open to the public, and gives us a chance to show our “softer” side and give back to the neighborhood. Solid Ground, a local charity, was on hand as well to collect donations of non-perishable items or monetary contributions. www.solid-ground.org

We’d love for you to join us next time! Email Megan West at meganma {at} tpnevents(.)com to be added to our mailing list.

The Saints were down, the commercials sucked and my buffalo wings were soggy. This was me an hour into the Super Bowl. Then a miracle… a little boy slapped a grown man in the face and said “keep your hands of my Mama, keep your hands of my Doritos” we laughed until we cried, used our DVR to watch the clip over and over again and then the Saints took control.

That was entertainment. As far as the rest of the ads this year….yeah…enough said.

It’s all the neighborhood buzz…the Fremont Fair will not be managed by Solid Ground anymore. It’s going to the Fremont Chamber of Commerce (FCC) http://www.fremocentrist.com/

Today I saw photography that made me stop what I was doing and blog.
George Caswell, wherever you are, I bow down to you.
And someday…well I’m just going to have to hire you. I know these photos are digitally enhanced, but all I see is joy. What a bright spot in my day!

We’ve been growing our relationship with Solid Ground (www.solid-ground.org). Each month we will feature one of the programs the organization supports here on TPNblogs.
