A friend of mine is behind this. If it doesn’t rain and if my children cooperate I may show up…you should show up if you’re in the NYC area regardless.

GALLERY OPENING EVENT

Ravel Hotel celebrates the opening of its gallery’s 1st international exhibit, with a rooftop party from 7:30 – 10:30 pm on Wednesday, July 1, 2009, featuring live music, half-priced drinks, and an opportunity for LIC art collectors, gallery directors, artists and art lovers in general to network while enjoying the visual work of 13 established artists from South America. Admission to the Ravel’s rooftop party and exhibit is free to the public.

Located at: 8-08 Queens Plaza South, LIC, NY, the Ravel Hotel opens its doors to the first exhibition, with a progressive concept where each of its 5 floors will have the hallways (and some of the rooms) double as a gallery and showcase one hundred original paintings by renowned artists from all over the world, all available for purchase.

The exhibition will be up until November 1, 2009. The gallery is directed by Elizabeth Torres, professional artist, and internationally recognized speaker.

The artists participating in this international exhibition are: Jorge Posada, Alvaro Daza, Juan Carlos Palacios, Rocar, Juan Carlos Vasco, Rafael Ordoñez, Alfredo Vivero Paniza, Carlos Orrea, Martha Guzman, Nico Daza, Elizabeth Torres, Camilo Pinto and Margarita Isaza.

For this opening night, the Ravel hotel has the honor to announce a special live performance by the band Los Neuronautas, which will be presenting its new album “Las Horas sin Tiempo”. Formed in 2006 in New York City, by singer/guitarist David Vanegas, drummer Jeff Ortiz, and bassist Gabriel Gutierrez, the band set out to combine sounds of hard rock and psychedelia into an evolving entity that stands apart from other bands of the latin rock circuit in the US.
