WORK IN PROGRESS ART SHOW A HUGE SUCCESS!

On Friday, July 15, 2005, 7 artists & 300 guests converged on a small picture framing shop & created Jackson Hole history. Full Circle Frameworks was converted into hip gallery space to display 50 original works of art -- a minor miracle in itself. A 6-ft by 8-ft panel of masonite was transformed into an amazing original work of art in front of the crowd as they enjoyed complementary drinks & food courtesy of Red Bull & Burger Boat. A mellow soundtrack to the evening was provided by DJ King Weep of FOUR4 Productions.

While Jackson's western art scene is well-established, its underground art has remained under-exposed & its artists underappreciated. Until now. Wine & cheese were nonexistant, as were dress codes, cliche track lighting & the stuffiness that's typical to local art openings. This was an opening for the rest of us.

Renowned pro snowboarder Bryan Iguchi pretty much summed it up: "That was one of the most amazing things I've ever been a part of!"

Please scroll through all the photos from the night, including shots of the finished piece & shots of other displayed works of art from participating artists. While many of the works found new homes that night, many are still available for sale. If you are interested in purchasing an original work of art from one of the featured artists, please contact Rocky at Full Circle Frameworks (rockyfour4@bresnan.net) for more information.

*** TO BID ON THE WORK IN PROGRESS COLLABORATIVE PANEL PIECE, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK TO THE ONLINE AUCTION. A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE TETON COUNTY SKATEPARK & TO THE COLLOSEUM SKATEPARK. ***
