April First Friday in Raleigh,Anniversary Exhibit Update

I am really getting exited for our event a week from this Friday! Working with Epona and Oak on this event has been so great. Not only is their space so peaceful and full of amazing art and jewelry, it has just been awesome to work with Leeann and her sisters, Katie and Cheryl. It makes me, almost… wish I was in business with my two sisters! on second thought…  I don’t know if we could do it. But these three sisters, they do it, and do it with laughter, style and what at least it looks like to me, ease! So, we met yesterday morning to work out the fine details, and there is so much to tell!   Cupcakes are being donated by Sweet T Cakery!  I won’t tell you the flavors, you will just have to come and see, I mean eat for yourself!  But one hint, there are four different flavors, and one is flavored with champagne. We are not only going to toast for these anniversaries, but we are going to eat our champagne!   Next, Dave Hogan will be spinning tunes for the night!  It is going to be old-school for me- reminding me of those parties I used to have back in the day. Oh, I miss those! And, We have sooo many great raffle items. I wanted to thank all of the donors by mentioning their names here and linking their sites. These are almost all women-owned, Raleigh small businesses.  Thank you amazing Raleigh businesses! I am hoping we are going to raise lots of money for our Non-Profits. They need it during these hard times! And what is so great, because we are doing a raffle, anyone can pitch in a few dollars for a great chance at wonderful prizes! Ok, here is the list so far!

Save the date! April 2, 2010 Elizabeth Galecke Photography celebrates 15 years!

I can’t belive it is here already- it feels like 10 was just yesterday! I have been searching my soul for something special to exhibit in celebration and last weekend, it came to me. I am soooo excited! I have been working with quite a few different non-profits over the years, but I have never shown any 0f the work- other than what the organizations used them for- So, I have decided to edit through my images, and present a show with these images. This is the kind of work that is closest to my heart- work that hopefully makes a difference, and work that has definitely changed the way I look at life. I will be pairing these images with information about the organizations, as well as personal notes from what I discovered or took away from each of these sessions. I am also hoping to raise some funds for each of the organizations. Raffle maybe??? I will keep you posted!

I am in the process of contacting the organizations, so far I have confirmed Make A Wish of Eastern NorthCarolina, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and Easter Seals UCP of North Carolina.  The exhibit will be at Epona and Oak, and amazing local Gallery/Boutique in Historic City Market, downtown Raleigh. We will have our celebration and reception on the First Friday Art Walk . More info to come as I get it organized!
