Pentes Art Works

I’d never heard of this place until I received an invitation from Christina Palmer Studios, where my daughter takes art lessons, to an art gallery. My daughter’s drawing was being displayed along with a bunch of others students’. This obviously made me very excited.
The place does not look like a gallery when we first pulled up but rather a residence nestled in between some nice woods. It’s nice and quaint and has a really cool metal sculpture at the end of the parking lot.
Unfortunately the place was packed. Well, not so much that it was packed but the place was outfitted oddly. You walk in and there’s a decent-​sized reception area which served as the congregation area. They’d laid out a table with some hors d’oeuvres and serving some drinks, water and Charles Shaw. The rest of the gallery is two, VERY THIN, about 2-​ft wide wings that extend to either side of the main room. Given that there were about 50 people there so we were shoulder to shoulder the entire time and bumping into other people.
The whole thing was a very nice experience and Christina did an excellent job on the presentation and all the kids and other artists were very proud and excited.
The only problem was the cramped feel to the whole thing as the gallery is not really meant to hold more than 10 – 20 people at a time.
