Britto / Perlo-Berry Show Success!

Off The Wall Gallery's motivation for the Berry/ Britto event was not only to raise funds and awareness but to raise The Berry Children's spirits. Art promotes healing and so we attempted to have two childrens workshops with world renowned artist, Romero Britto. He connected with the children as an artist, teacher, and humanitarian. The children mimicked his work using Britto coloring books , crayons and color markers. There was sheer delight in the gallery as the kids gave it their all and the parents proudly looked on. Everyone went home with their own creations as well as a juice box and a cookie. With all that being said thanks to the parents and children who made it out to the event.

The artist reception that evening for Romero Britto was a huge success. Lots of new faces as well as some old ones. Special thanks for those who have been coming to our events for years, we appreciate you all so much. We were overwhelmed with the amount of people wanting to be a part of the event, there was standing room only as clients tried to pay for their coveted artworks and waited patiently for Romero to dedicate the artwork. Brasserie 19 was a very gracious sponsor who made the wait so much more pleasant by feeding the crowds. We were fortunate enough to be selling everything from original artwork and limited editions to books, and gift items. The Mezuzah's and scarves were sold out before the evening was over.The gallery is working on filling all back orders and personalizations this week. Thank you for supporting us and The Berry Children from the bottom of our hearts <3.
