Happy Birthday Sugar!

I will have some new artwork for sale at Sugar's 1 year anniversary art and fashion show! :)

"Sugar is a night of collective artistry supporting emerging and underground women of the arts, gathering different genres of artists from music, fashion, photography, fine, and graffiti art into one venue.

We are celebrating our year on the scene with a bang!!! We have teamed up with Graffiti Beach (www.graffitibeach.org) to produce our biggest show yet!!! The night will begin at 8pm with an artist and photography showcase, f...ollowed by a fashion show that kicks off at 10:30pm featuring 15 emerging and underground local fashion and accessory designers.

To top the evening off, we will have a live performance by the popular all female elctro-rock band, Nylon Pink and a performance by the dually riveting electro-pop group, CRAZEDOTCOM . To add to the excitement of the evening, celebrity DJ Mia Guzman will be on the turntables throughout the night to help create that party vibe. To remain true to the Sugar DNA the night will be full of fun and shocking surprises!!!
