Opens Tonight, Oct 3, 6-8p: “Dream of the Soft Look”  Jason Bard Yarmosky Bertrand Delacroix Gallery, 535 W25th St., NYC “Yarmosky investigates the relationship between youth and old age in his work, staging surreal scenes with elderly protagonists where a sense of childhood nostalgia permeates each image. Yarmosky’s paintings are photorealistic, but he also makes room for a more expressive approach, alternating between sharply focused and blurred elements rendered with loose brushstrokes. For his upcoming solo show, “Dream of the Soft Look” at Bertrand Delacroix Gallery in New York, Yarmosky went in a more cinematic direction than in his previous work — whether deliberate or not, hints of film noir and David Lynch-ian strangeness can be discerned.” – HI FRUCTOSE - thru Oct 31

We're officially official! Our launch party was a huge success. The event was hosted by Warren Tricomi LA, a beautiful salon on Melrose. We felt so honored to reveal what we have been hard at work on for months to all our family and friends. 

Gabrielle from 'Cause We Can Events did an incredible job organizing the event along with our exquisite business coach, Tiana Sanchez.

The night was filled with shopping, wine from Morandell Imports, delicious catering from Artistic Endeavors LA, the best chocolate we have ever tasted from Daphne Chocolatier, along with complimentary a beauty bar.

The best part of the night was to be a part of a donation to EmpowHer Institute, which helps young women meaningfully serve their communities. Every event by 'Cause We Can Events donates a portion to a charitable cause. 

Again, huge thank you to everyone who participated in making our night so special!
