Halo is very proud to announce its annual
opening party for noted Native American artists Marla Allison, Chris Pruitt, Pat
Pruitt and introducing Shaax' Saani and Mercedes Jack, a mother/daughter Tlingit jeweler team.
One night only, Thursday, February 28th, 2013, starting at 6:00pm at
Halo, located at 10 West Camelback, you will have the opportunity to mingle
with the artists in a relaxed informal atmosphere, and check out their latest
works. Due to the popularity of the past
events, you can catch glimpses of other world renowned Native American artists at the party, the likes of Mateo Romero, Maria Samora, Pilar Agoyo and Charlene
HolyBear. Along with local artists Hoss
Rogers and Timothy Chapman who have been
known to drop by.
Halo is easily accessible using the Valley Metro Light Rail from anywhere
the light rail runs. Just hop off at the
Central and Camelback station, and walk across Camelback straight to Halo.
