Last Tuesday evening, we had a reception to celebrate the opening of a special month-long exhibition in an annex gallery right next door to our store. It features the internationally celebrated artist Benjamin Long (UNC ‘67), a variety of other artists, and a new selection from Magoo’s incredible collection of antiques. A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the Women’s Center of Chapel Hill.

Ben Long will be joining us for an informal reception tomorrow evening. He will be in town for several days to paint the portrait of UNC president Erskine Bowles. If you’re in the area, please stop by! The reception begins at 6:30 in our Annex Gallery, 144 East Franklin Street (right next door).

They came and they went. The Russian ballet graced Chapel Hill with its presence and its pirouettes.

For the occasion, we created a precious paper performance of our own!

Congrats to our 2009 NCAA national champs!

Our beloved Tarheels just won the NCAA Basketball Championship. This is our way of showing them some love.
