SPRING IS COMING TO LITTLE RHODY AND WE CAN’T WAIT
Looking for something artsy to do this upcoming week? Fine dining restaurant Gracie’s is introducing their “Featured Winter Artist” at their Opening Reception on Wednesday, March. 12 from 5-6:30 pm. Head to Gracie’s at 194 Washington Street and check out the reception in the private dining room downstairs.
Guests will be able to mingle and meet artist Marjorie Ball while sipping complimentary wine and a selection of cheeses.
A little bit about the artist (according to Gracie’s): “Marjorie Ball grew up on Long Island. Her early love of drawing and painting was encouraged and developed by classes at the Art Students League, Pratt Institute, and private painting lessons with a local professional illustrator. After graduating from Syracuse University school of art she worked as an illustrator, freelance graphic designer, and art educator in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Throughout those years, she painted and exhibited her work in local exhibitions, waiting for a chance to follow her heart and paint every day.”
