Dana M Johnson – Paintings, Illustrations, VideoThe Blog of Dana M. Johnson

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful people who stopped in to the State Theater last night!  I really enjoyed talking to everyone, fellow artists and patrons of the arts.  Thank you also to the Eau Claire Regional Arts Center for hosting such a great event, and to Volumeone for all of their promotional work.  Nick from Volumeone was hard at work all night making a live feed of video, stream on the website, Don (Vone’s Awesome website designer) even took a quick break to stop in to check out the art!  It was really nice to spend the day with Bruce, David, Tim, Ben & the rest of the staff & volunteers at ECRAC.  There is a lot of time and work involved in putting together and successfully pulling off a community event like liveART!  All of the money raised is going to benefit the gallery expansion project.
