Helena Mason Art Gallery Holiday Party
Natalie Olivas,owner-director of the Helena Mason Art Gallery, held an impromptu holiday party open house on Wednesday, December 13, to promote local event professionals, the gallery as an event space for rent, and the art on the walls by Pedro de la Cruz, Chris Gocong, Bob Hernandez, and Rod Lathim.
The placement of the art gallery juxtaposed within a block of the Funk Zone perimeter, the beach, and State Street makes it an ideal meeting place, and an escape zone itself from all three borders, with the casual back patio and upstairs loft lounge.
The event professionals participating in the holiday party were DJ Eric Anderson of LeFunk Sounds spinning curated tunes; the gourmet caterer of health-oriented foods Rene Gonzalez of Gourmet Food Kitchen & Catering SB who was showcasing his Asian dumplings, Latin chili lime shrimp, and Italian mozzarella rounds; the R+R team of Jessica Damon and Rudy Richardson specializing in private events, who were crafting drinks and ice cubes with cranberries and rosemary sprigs.
It was a fun and casual event, with guests catching up with the gallery owner and mingling over the art and atmosphere.
