We are celebrating the completion of our wall mural and, in our front gallery at Pivot Media, a new show featuring some of my recent work. There will be live music by guitarist Mark Nomad (his Delta blues sets are outrageous) at 5:00 and 6:00 and African dance by the PVPA dance team WOFA at 5:30 and 6:30. The weather is going to be beautiful and there will be art and music happenings all over Florence. In short, an event not to be missed.
