who: open to anyone attending grand opening event ! ♡ where: Nouveau Art Gallery, Grand Opening .

       she's really, super thankful for that edible. like, actually. it makes everything soft and fuzzy, surpassing the tangled up nerves low in her belly, only sparking up to attention when they have the chance. which is never! because everything is so exciting. allie gets to wear a sparkly dress and meet so many new people, it doesn't matter that it's not her scene. everything is so, so fancy, formal like it's just out of her reach in a way she could never understand. but, usually, when she feels like that she goes and attaches herself to ezra. the sound of his voice slips through like silk, turning into comfort. but then she goes and wanders again, like she's doing now with her bundles of flowers crowded close to her chest, like she's half princess, and half bouquet.

       matching her collection of florals to give, of course she's found the displays of art featuring flowers. she has to remind herself not to reach out and touch them, entranced by the soft, dreamy look of the petals. she twirls a strand of hair around her finger as she wonders aloud. " do you think the flowers have to mean something? they're so pretty, do they, like, have to? "

location: nouveau who: open

It's stuffy inside with all of the crowds, and Riley feels distinctly out of place. It's a bunch of artists and creatives, a side that they had never really nurtured when they were younger. Even now, they can look up at a piece of art and maybe feel some kind of emotion well up inside them, but the details of it are lost on them. They doubt that anyone here is interested in their opinions of linework or lighting, so Riley takes the opportunity to step outside. It's a different kind of chill than what they are used to, and the lawyer lets out a slow breath.

"See anything inside that catches your eye?" they ask the person standing a few steps down. Talking to strangers is a distinctly non-New York side of them, but they can't hide forever. "My walls could use a little decorating, but I think most of these will be out of my price range."

Maybe it wasn't meant to be the Lomidze scene, but in Viktoria's mind every place is their place. Meaning every place is her place. She meanders through the gallery, admiring the darker bits and pieces, excited to know more about who has done what. If anything, she's ready to pick apart psyches whether they like it or not. And perhaps, maybe, run into a sibling or two.

Wine glass in hand, she turns to the person admiring the art in front of them and holds it out to them with a soft, almost alluring smile. "So what is it about this one that seems to enrapture you?"

The Grand Opening Exhibition

Narcisse had thought a lot about this evening. Planning carefully every detail, every moment of it. A well timed, perfectly oiled machine set to function. She had a single goal in mind, and her art, the mean to achieve it. So when the time came to expose it, exhibit it, she made sure to scatter it around the place. A created path to a bigger piece. One that would be followed when the time was right.

There was no name under the paintings, no author to be praised and acknowledge. She didn't need it, and she wasn't looking for it. Not tonight. She had plenty other galleries to do that. Tonight... she was looking for something else, for a message to be delivered.

ARIA BOUGHTON at the NOUVEAU GRAND OPENING

Showcasing some portraits in which she's played with the use of shadow in light, this is Aria's first time at a gallery. Her usual work is either very private or something simply to share with family. This is her passion project, and she's quite nervous about showing it off.

For : Open! Capping at 4 Location : Gallery Open

She’d come alone tonight, still reeling a bit over the run-in at the coffee shop but hoping the gallery would distract her worried mind. First Nikko, and now Corvina. Next thing she knew Blair was going to drop some bombshell on her and then the surgeon truly would be triple fucked. God, things had been so much easier when she had been by herself. Away from people, away from feelings. Just her and the four walls of her little bedroom in a farmhouse located in the middle of nowhere. The only person her her true proximity being her mother. And after her passing, well then it was a little farmhouse in the middle of nowhere with nothing but solitude.

She wonders briefly if she should go back to that, she’s made plenty to live on. She could move to Canada, secure a little cabin in the woods, and only travel into town when supplies were needed. She sighs, looking over a nude portrait and taking a swig from the wine glass she’s practically manhandling as her other hand is settled in her pants pocket.

Nah, she liked Nikko too much. Enjoyed Blair’s company. And would be fucked if she let Corvina run her out of town. She takes another drink, leaning a bit to really take the portrait in, it’s good she supposes. Hearing footsteps approaching she snarks lightly. “Nothing says art like a great pair of tits…”

Chamomile Greensmith - Nouveau Grand Opening

Cham is still slightly shaken from the Masquerade, and hesitant to be at another outing that is sure to be filled with supernaturals all holding tension and watching to see who makes a wrong move. But they’re happy to see some art, and maybe some friends, and the free champagne definitely doesn’t hurt.

KEVIN MA at the GRAND OPENING OF NOUVEAU

Given that he doesn't have a single artistic bone in his body, Kevin would usually skip an event like this, but since @photoaria is showcasing her work, he absolutely will go to support. It doesn't hurt to have a chance to dress up as well. He opts for a style that he has mostly avoided since moving back to Port Leiry because of the fights it used to cause with his dad. But tonight, Kevin decides to simply and unabashedly be himself.
