| The Phantom Gallery space! |
 |
| The clean up begins with major window washing to make them sparkle. |
I am thrilled as are our other members for this new opportunity and the city has embraced us and our attempt to rejuvenate the downtown area. Across the street is Stage 212 and we hope to open on the same evening that "Chicago" debuts at the theater on Friday, July 22.

This new venue has given our art members some new life. It's hard to keep a non for profit organization running. Sometimes we get discouraged. We wonder if it is all worth it. Are we doing the right thing? Do we have the support we need? One of our officers has kept an amazing scrapbook that we look at when things don't seem to be going as planned. As we flip through the pages and see all that has been accomplished we say..."it's worth it."
Please help support this new gallery in downtown La Salle. Enjoy the art that will be on display. Tell your friends about us. Make a donation. Ask how you can help. Purchase some art. Join our group. Realize the importance of art and cultural activities and their impact to a vibrant community.

I ate at the restaurant once. It was a very neat space and a shame when it closed and sat empty. I'm glad someone moved in!
ReplyDeleteI loved it when Mezzanotte was the restaurant upstairs. Several other people tried to make a go of it after that but were not successful. It still has the very long 40's bar, tables and chairs all set up to go.
ReplyDeleteMight I say that The Awakenings Project is excited just to have a little space in the midst of Breast Cancer month (October), since the first full week in October is also known as Mental Illness Awareness Week. We will have a show at IVCC, which will run concurrently. We're looking forward to this.
