Gala for the Arts

Another event included in Gainesville Fashion Week was the Gala for the Arts. The event was comprised of: a silent auction which included the art pieces from Wednesday's art show, designs by Jacquelyn Brooks, an art competition & exhibit, dancing, and dinner. Although I didn't actually attend, my friend, Andres Farfan (click to see his website!), who is a professional photographer, was able to get stunning pictures from this amazing event! Here are some of the pictures he took at Gala for the Arts!

Gainesville Fashion Week

This week is the annual "Gainesville Fashion Week", where local fashion designers get a chance to showcase their unique and trendy designs! The beginning of the week starts with a local art gala, in which my sister, Lucía, put up some of her art work! :) The art event brought in all of the designers, models, artists, musicians, make up artists, event planners, stylists, and organizers involved! Here are some pictures from the "pink" carpet!
