New Website Alert!

This is a super-quick note to announce our all-new website, SugarIsArtGallery.com! The site is now live, and will be updated regularly. We'll soon have Gallery details posted, so check it out often. Be sure to update and saved pages and bookmarks that you have in place, so you don't miss out on anything.

If you haven't had a chance to stop by the new Sugar Social Lounge, please do so- and while you're there, sign up for a free membership so you can participate, post events and pictures, and more. We have a membership goal of 100 by the end of March- sure it's ambitious, but very do-able. Let's see how close we can get... we'll see you there...

Rick at Elm Tree Web Design did the fresh new site for the Gallery, and we can't thank him enough! When you're ready for a new site (what are you waiting for?! lol), contact him and tell him that the Gallery sent you.

Enjoy dessert tonite... and then more tomorrow for Valentine's Day... :)

Fighting Hunger & Celebrating Sugar Art...

I hope everyone had a really wonderful Turkey Day. There was a time in my life when holidays didn't mean anything to me. Not only did I not recognize holidays, I flat out didn't like them. They still are not of any earth-shattering importance in my life, but I do try to be more selfless and considerate of family needs and excitement and actually acknowledge them. Somewhat. A little. In my own way. More than I did the past 10ish years. It's a start, right? :) But no matter how much I didn't get into holidays, I always had a desire to feed people, regardless of whether or not it was a holiday or an any day. I strongly believe delicious, freshly prepared food is a human RIGHT and not a privilege, and I am now determined to do whatever I can to ensure that everyone has food to eat whenever they are hungry.

Because of my belief, the decision to support our local food charities was a no-brainer. Nashville has a wealth of amazing food options, and doesn't get the credit it deserves or earned- Gabe's Gurl Event Productions is working that end of this equation! My hope- and goal- is that we can come together as an industry to help replenish the depleted food supplies that are in high demand right now.

I know that times are tough right now, and we all have had to make some changes, cutbacks, and sacrifices to weather our troubled economy. While I feel certain that our economy will soon rebound, the emotional, physical, and mental effects of hunger, and in its more serious form, starvation, are lasting. We cannot ignore the plight of those whose times may be a little harder than ours, and I just ask that we do what we can to fight it.

Because of such tough times, donations to Second Harvest are down dramatically. We are getting some things set up that will make donating easier. In addition, we will be doing an onsite food drive where Gallery guests can bring items to donate at the door. It doesn't have to be much- just do what you can.

Have dessert tonight!
