Art,Love & Soul Fourth Of July Celebration and Gallery Show

 


Celebrating the fourth in my home town... Sonoma County art, love, soul event serves up healthy servings of art fashion and music for the 4th. 

 33 arts of sonoma county hosted the gathering for this years Art Soul Love gallery event. An artist hub in between Sebastopol and Santa Rosa now residing in the former military barracks. This venue made for a dramatic and interesting backdrop for the event. 


 







  The afternoon slipped into evening with a stunning display of local art on the walls featuring Matt Tribbles,Taylor Rock,Cody Smith,Tama Sega and a live fashion exhibit featuring August Valentine Sustainable couture in the upstairs gallery. Music playing and bbq cooking in the outside courtyard, with dancers enjoying the laid back vibe of the evening. 





 



Promoter Brittany Ledwell of Acid Totem brings a laid back casual style to her events, enticing well blended crowds of eclectic art and music types. Edgy undercurrents and spontaneous performances were plentiful and the event ended in explosions of the firework variety. 







 

 


















































Flash-backs to running rampant between ground dwelling canister fireworks washed over me as I made my way through the crowded parking area. Wonderful event I hope makes an annual appearance in Sonoma County for the youthful at heart. 
Location: 3840-4006 Finley Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95407, USA
