TPN Gallery Walls hosts the neighborhood

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.

champagne taste on a beer budget

By rachaelhg, on May 30th, 2009

“Champagne taste on a beer budget” – set that to a jingle and you have the 2009 theme song for the events industry! Every event we manage requires careful budget control and oversight but never so much as in the year 2009, and in the case of our Circle of Care events, never such a well-heeled guest list of benefactors. Created by TPNers Cathy Morgan, Martin Christoffel, Greg Elder and Megan West, along with former TPNer Cindy Krueger and The Edge Creative, these events proved that a network of good taste, determination and talent can overcome conservative budgets. Mama always said, “money doesn’t buy taste”. Our team was savvy enough to know when to spend and when to seek an alternative solution. This is what we mean when we tout “creative solutions” in our services. By tightly managing our hours, we were able to reserve more resources for the show floor. The events were beautiful, educational and honored attendees, without showering them with meaningless extravagance.
