Drawing On Vancouver opening

POSTED November 21, 2009 BY Randy Laybourne / Lookforwardtothepast

It was a dark and stormy night… but people braved the wind and rain to come to the Drawing On Vancouver opening at Walrus. Thanks again to everyone that attended, bought art, drank some Phillips beer, and had a tasting of Caroline’s Mother’s baking. The show will be up for the next month, if you didn’t get a chance to see all the great and varied drawings yet.
