Justin Hunt's "Talking Dirty"

Justin Hunt, one of Galleria d’Arte’s most successful and popular artists, will be the last featured artist in “The Grinch Presents Justin Hunt.” Hunt is a master of the ancient technique of reverse glass painting. His newest works will be on exhibit from December 8 to December 24, 2007, at Carrie Cameron Garner’s Galleria d’Arte at 115 South Kentucky Street in downtown McKinney.

You are cordially invited to join us for our final Second Saturday celebration on Saturday, December 8 from 4PM to 7PM with an artist’s reception. We would like to extend our thanks to our patrons of the last 2 ½ years. We have made so many wonderful friends and acquaintances it is with a heavy heart that we will permanently close our doors on December 24, 2007.

We have loved being “in prison” for the past six months, so to celebrate appropriately, Galleria d’Arte will be hosting the “After Party” immediately following the artist’s reception on December 8. At 7PM, DJ Crocodile will be spinning the tunes in the cellblocks on the third floor, and we will dance the night away. This may be your last opportunity to see the old Collin County Prison, so be sure and make time to join our duo celebrations on December 8.
