AURORA 2013 WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AT DALLAS' ONE ARTS PLAZA!

Last Friday was such a great turnout at One Art’s Plaza!  All of the exhibits were inspiring and the atmosphere was full of energy.  Not only was the event a success but we also had some local area talent posting their experiences and images to the One Art’s Plaza Instagram for our #Aurora2013 @OneArtsPlaza image contest.  We are pleased to announce our winners:

• Cruzmndza
• Nexxtnick
• Madras76
• Traciwood77
• Uptownconsignment

The exhibitors were amazing but we might be a little biased to the artist on display at One Arts Plaza, Peter William Holden.  His AutoGene display mesmerized the audience at Aurora 2013!!!

 

Thank you again for all that attended this year's Aurora exhibit!  We are grateful to have spent a lovely evening with you all enjoying the crisp fall weather, amazing ambiance, and whimsical art featured!
