Artists’ Reception, Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008 6—8 pm

Couturier Gallery’s annual group exhibition of small and fine works of art will include paintings, sculptures, works on paper, photographs and ceramics. This year’s holiday theme is Gracias a la vida, “Thanks To Life.” In the course of this past year’s global and local events and given the current state of affairs, many changes have occurred in our physical, spiritual, economical and political spheres. As short as this sentence is, Gracias a la vida constitutes our appreciation of being alive and experiencing life through breathing, walking, observing and creating.
