January began in such an amazing way! What began as an idea I had during a staff retreat turned into a successful, creative, and inspiring community event! "The Good Foot Arts Collective Cafe Tour" was something that both me and my big brother Milton worked on together to connect with the community and other artists. It was the first time the Good Foot had showcased the Visual Arts side of our mission. We had our opening reception at All City Coffee in Pioneer Square, and worked with 8 other artists to complete the show. That night was such a surprise! So many people showed up! At one point there was a line going outside the door. We had great music playing all night (courtesy of DJ Ohmega Watts :D)...and people just felt comfortable enough to stay, relax and get to know people...which is pretty rare for this location's art openings. The owners of the cafe were surprised that the place was so packed, and it turned out better than I could have hoped. Milton said he saw it as "God giving us a vision" on how great this could be. Yeah :)! The Cafe Tour Jan 09 to April 09, this was just the first show...yayerrr! Still so happy....
