Passionate Focus 2011
Our 9th annual Passionate Focus art exhibit was held May 12-20 at the Zhou B Art Center in Bridgeport. This space offered incredible energy and allowed our exhibit to be part of a creative community at the Zhou B Art Center--including gallery space showcasing artistic masterpieces by the Zhou Brother as well as work by artists from around the world.
The opening reception for Passionate Focus 2011 was on May 12. The evening included an auction of the art exhibited in the show, a chance to meet seven of the exhibiting artists, a live and silent auction with great prizes, wonderful food and a vibrant atmosphere.
