The Opening Reception lasted four hours and was attended by a steady stream of visitors who had the opportunity to meet the artists in the New Work exhibition.

Claire Dune

Jewelry designer Clare Dune presented a trunk show, with a number of major works and a group of models on hand. The artist refers to her fused glass and rubber as "contemporary  embellishments and charms for old souls and brave hearts". The contrast between hard, yet fragile colored glass and soft, yet flexible rubber creates a dramatic look that is both modern and timeless, with Asian and African references.

Artist and Chef Beatrix Rohlsen created and served a wide-array of vegan appetizers, as those in attendance sipped wine and viewed works in the exhibition.

Joe Juin, who performs under the name "Felino" sat beneath a tree and entertained those in attendance with classic French and South American folk songs. His girlfriend and daughter often sat by his side and harmonized.
