Mill Valley, Art Walk - June & July 2024
Amelia’s first time exhibiting her art in public! Woo Hoo! When Amelia moved to Mill Valley, Ca in June of 2023 she had a dream to show her colorful art in Mill Valley’s monthly Art Walk. She made that happen! Go Amelia!! =)
Amelia has been creating her body of experimental photography for 3 years now, and this is the first time sharing it in a public setting, other than Instagram (does that count as public?….maybe “in person” is what I’m trying to say). The first artwalk in June was quite the experience. Not knowing how this was going to go, or how her art would be received, she jumped in with two feet and got curious. Amelia wanted to know what people would say, if they would “like” her art, if the would understand it! She was happy with the response, and so encouraged by all of the people stopping in and asking questions. People wanted to know how this art was created. Was it “photoshop” ? some would ask! Nope, “old school 35 mm film” she would say. Since most of the visitors were between the ages of 30 and 70 years young, it brought smilies to peoples faces when they realized this was a somewhat “ancient” process used to create these beautiful framed color bombs on the wall.
The day of the first art walk (in June) it was HOT, and Amelia felt like she might pass out, until she realized there was an air conditioner in the room. Her art was being shown at the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce, a small office with big white walls, perfect for displaying her kind of art. Amelia treated this event like a party, and had a great spread of cheeses, crackers, grapes and chocolate chip cookies, as well as some vino and Champagne to celebrate! Amelia’s friends showed up to support her and add music and liveliness to her event. After all of the locals had left and it was time to close down Amelia and her gal pals had a little dance party to the BeeGees. It was a great end to a wonderful and fun first public/in person showing of Amelia’s Art!
Please join Amelia and experience this event first hand… on Tuesday July 2nd for the next Mill Valley Art Walk! It starts at 5:30 pm and ends at 7pm. Appetizers and various beverages will be served! Maybe stay to the end for another impromptu dance party. It’ is supposed to be another HOT night. =)
