Welcome to the Photo Blog of the Guardino Gallery Opening Receptions

The reception for our second show of 2012 was well attended & fun.  Chris Giffin (mixed media assemblages)
& Maryanna Hoggatt (paintings) opened in the Main Gallery.  The Feature Area was filled with the group show
about the heart.  As someone said that night: It was filled with love.
