Welcome and Hospitality
A huge shoutout to the Subers for their incredible hospitality and for welcoming us into their beautiful home for this special gathering. We effortlessly moved from the outdoor festivities to the cozy embrace of the Suber residence, creating a seamless and enjoyable experience. Their generosity truly set the stage for an intimate and inspiring event that we will cherish.
Highlighted Artists
The event spotlighted the distinguished work of established artist Anthony Suber, whose powerful pieces captivated us with their depth and insight. We also had the pleasure of celebrating the extraordinary emerging talent of Saj Baldwin, whose fresh visions sparked excitement as they unfolded under the expert guidance of our lively host and conversation facilitator, Seba Suber. To top it off, Saj shared a thrilling sneak peek of a work-in-progress, making the evening truly special for everyone in attendance
