I'd like to thank all the people that conceved and coordinated the "For the Love of Art"show. I loved the energy and enthusiasum from start to finish, I could feel the love and passion for art from everyone. The show being in such a unigue and historical building set the tone of grandness right from the start and was followed by a faboulous opening night-WOW what a party, tramendous turn out and energy. I felt so well recieved and appreciated that my exitement met that of Ben Green,who definatly has the "vision" for the Hat Factory, and Rick Yamet who exsudes such warmth.
I would also like to mention the many positive feedbacks that I have recieved, some sending me on other artistic tragectories. I met some very intresting people at the opening and thouroughly enjoyed experiencing the artwork. I am so happy to have been invited(by the amazing artist and human Tilly Strauss) and to have participated in such a show with so many extreamly talented people.

HI Rick,
Thanks for all the work you did with the Hat Factory Exhibit recently. "For the Love of Art" was a great time, both the reception and the weekends were really well attended. I was happy to be a part of it and recieved many thoughtful comments from interesting people. The space is beautiful as well, great natural light. Take care and maybe next time we will be able to talk! EMil
