Art Show and Silent Auction

Monday, April 30th, 2007

diversity.jpgThe Gay & Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada presents The 4th Annual Art Show and Silent Auction. The event takes place this Saturday May 5 from 6pm to 9pm at The Center, located at 953 E. Sahara Avenue, Suite B31. Call 733-9800 for more info.

The theme this year is “Celebrate Diversity.” My best friend will have a few photography pieces in the show and I got to help her out (my first and last modeling gig!). So if you’re going to be in town this weekend try and swing by - I may be just a little biased but she truly does excellent work, and of course everything else there will be worth checking out too!
