Here is a note from Melissa with more details on her upcoming art show. If you are reading this in the bay area I hope you can come by and support her!

Hi Friends,
I have some exciting news to share...
I've been painting a bunch since the summer (acrylic on canvas) and there is a gallery in San Jose that is going to show my stuff!
Finalized details with the owner today and here is the scoop --
Show is opening on Friday November 6th from 8PM-11PM and will stay up the month of November during regular hours
It is all my show to do with it what I will so I'm going to make it a fundraiser / awareness event for Refugee Transitions (www.reftrans.org) and donate any proceeds
Not a huge gallery but big enough that I have a lot of painting to do in two weeks in order to fill the space!
The gallery is part of a yoga studio. Here is the venue http://downtownyogashala.com/
It is part of an art event that San Jose puts on the first Friday of every month called "South First Fridays" http://www.southfirstfridays.com/. The idea is the city encourages people to come eat and drink downtown and then walk through the gallery district (along South First Street) so the number of people attending will kind of be dependent on the weather =).
So it is pretty exciting. Not sure where all of this is going. Maybe my first and only show, maybe the first of others! Should learn a lot about the art scene in San Jose through this experience and hopefully find a few new volunteers and make a little bit of money for Refugee Transitions!
Hope you can drop by for the show opening. Details are:
Friday, November 6th
8PM-11PM
Candlelight yoga before the show so drop into that if you can (6:30-8:00PM)
450 S First St., San Jose CA 95113
Parking at the San Jose Convention center will be validated
