SELENA ROSE and Martha Flores at the PAC for First Friday

Well, everybody I know you all wanted to know yesterday how the art show at the Performing Arts Center went on Friday night. I can tell you that everyone who came by the PAC loved Martha’s art and most stayed for awhile to listen to the truly lovely voice of the young, and I mean young (16yrs old) singer songwriter who provided the musical entertainment there. This young artist Selena Rose Martinez, who was named for the more famous Selena, will no doubt make a name for herself as a musician and singer. What an enjoyable evening it was.

I wish I could say that throngs of people came to the event. But with the Classy Chassis Parade in east Wenatchee, and tons of people at the memorial Park the night before the Apple Blossom Parade, and, the fact that many of the vary folks that would normally come to art events are the same folks who like to stay out of the downtown area during Apple Blossom’s traffic and crowds etc… we were probably lucky to get the few dozen folks we did.

But, those that came really loved Martha’s art, asked her questions and some sales make get finalized from the event HEHA! People also, loved the performer and took video and pics of her… I’m thinking she’ll get some future gigs from the exposure as well. I’m truly glad for her on that, and in fact I think she could do well to pair up with the somewhat more mature (age 30 or so) singer songwriter who was performing at the Two Rivers Gallery that same night.  I did see when I went to two Rivers Gallery that the same folks that had stopped by at the PAC were there, so; the Art Walk thing is in fact working… people are moving from one First Friday venue to another.

After we got home from First Friday, I would normally have written this blog then but we needed to be up early to go to the staging area for the grand Parade and our part in it with the Giant Puppets…. Now to begin making the video of that fantastic event. For which we won First Place in the Creative Alternative  Division or something like that. Anyway we got first place and a plaque. More of that later. For now it’s to making a movie and putting it on Youtube. Catch ya later.
