Art exhibitions by ELKE GRAALFS, SHAVI LAVI & NORA BELOW

~ Kunst ist keine Geldanlage. Sondern eine Bereicherung. ~

~ Art is not for the accumulation of money. It's an enrichment. ~

Elke Graalfs

For the first time, art got its own space in our STYLE! IT! TAKES! night of fashion, performances, arts & music with three wonderful exhibitions at Urban Spree gallery... All three had their very own character and topics, but have been set up in such a lovely style, that they worked amazingly well together and looked simply beautiful in their interaction... Thank you so much, Elke, Shavi & Nora for your gorgeous contributions to our extra-ordinaire event!!! I think, I never loved an art exhibition opening and the aesthetics and atmosphere of your united works more than this one of the three of you... it was just perfect!!! ♥♥♥

ELKE GRAALFS - Coats

ELKE GRAALFS painted these amazing coats at Urban Spree extra for this super special one-night-exhibition!!! A photo from some days before the event. (it's about the 'true colours', in contrast to the next pic)

Unfortunately some of our great booth participants are missing here by pictures.

This is especially sad because our little market had been built up in a lovely community spirit ♥♥♥

Please help us out with - so far - missing photos of our lovely friends:

Leider fehlen Photos eines Teils unserer großartigen Markt-Teilnehmer*innen.

Das ist besonders schade, weil unser kleiner Markt in einem liebenswürdigen Gemeinschaftsgeist aufgebaut wurde. ♥♥♥
