We had a great time at our first event in the new place, Aquarius Creative Studio! Wish you all could have been there. Don't worry, for those who could not make it there will be plenty of opportunities for you to redeem yourselves!
We started with some great food and wine at our Tapas and Wine Tasting last Thursday night. Our resident Chef Stan and visiting Chef Ira made some incredible dishes. Stan came with Italian and Alfredo Meatballs that were sinful, mini shrimp salads, and the best Grilled Cheese Sandwich you have ever put in your mouth. Ira gave us Grilled Chicken Wings in two flavors and a Grilled Lamb as a passed hors d'oeuvre.
Kiss my Grilled Cheese!We had 6 different varieties of wine to complement the dishes. Favorites seemed to be the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling and the Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, although the Mirasou Pinot Noir had several fans.
The photography on display was graciously donated by some of Memphis' best, including classic canvas prints by Norman Gilbert, large scale avant garde images from S Julian and some amazing travel series photographs by Jake Morrow. Each of these photographer's work would be a fantastic addition for any collector.
As part of our mission, Aquarius Creative Studio likes to shine a light on up and coming talent. This show included works by Young. Fly. Richy. who is making waves in the hip-hop scene as a "one-to-work-with" artist. We also featured new works from Jermel Tucker. Ziggy Mack as he is known in his regular profession as a top nightlife and music event photographer, decided to stretch a bit for this show with some thought provoking editorial shots. We're proud to offer our artistic support to these emerging artists.
Thanks to everyone who made this event a great night. Camille, Shani, Kai Cai London and S Julian each deserve more thanks than I can give for their continuing support.
