The show “Paintings Inspired by Nature and Our Animal Friends” featuring the paintings of Jaroslava Sobiskova and Sara Licht is opening at Cafe Zoma this Friday, July 10th from 5-9pm.

Next door at Absolutely Art you can also see the work of Mary Fiore in her show “As I See It:  Batiks and Photos.”  Live music, food, and drink provided.  Hope you can make it, these openings are a lot of fun.  The show only runs through July 31st, so come and see the work before it goes!
