Safari!
Once again Gallerie Karon goes on safari and you’re invited !
As you enter the gallery, you’re met with masks of all types – face, helmet and shoulder styles. The most spectacular one is from a rather notorious ruler who never took no for an answer, even from his own family. It’s entirely hand beaded and very rare.another very rare African piece is from yet another ruler and it’s his throne. A seat carved with a leopard holding an crocodile in its mouth. A piece of glass added on top would make a great console table.
We’ve added a festive African food treat called “puffs-puffs”, a pastry shaped like balls made by Chef Deborah Costella at the Cosmic Muffin School of Cookery. She found these to be a favorite in west Africa.
You’ll enjoy the artwork of Pegi Smith, Judy Benson LaNier, Vernon Lawhorn and his wife among other African artists. Be on the lookout for lions, leopards, cheetahs, monkeys, elephants and more!
Last but not least, we are honored to have Stolen Moments music trio after a a number of years. It’s going to be a packed evening so plan to take a journey with us at Gallerie Karon on Safari!
