Gallery Showings

My Re/Max Gallery project in Livonia is really taking shape. This is an exciting new Realty Office that recognizes the value of supporting the community through the arts. This project has been brought to the attention of the Livonia Arts Commission and there are possibilities that the two organizations will be able to leverage each other to encourage growth of the art community.

I will attend a gallery show hosted by the Livonia Arts Commission, in conjunction with the Artists that are displaying at the Livonia Civic Center, known as the Nine Muses Sunday, February 8.
