Empire Seven Studios will be hosting a meet & greet with Don Gagliardi, a candidate for District 3 (Downtown) City Council seat. We have seen great progress downtown in terms of the visibility of art, music and culture but there is still much to do and we could do more and go further with strong city support.

With so many challenges facing this city, we must ensure that the arts are not forgotten or buried as a non-essential. Don Gagliardi knows the important roles the artists/musicians/creatives contribute in making San Jose vibrant, desirable and economically successful for all that live and/or work here.

Even if you don't live downtown, you probably do know family and friends that do and their vote will affect your opportunities to make and exhibit your life's work in the city center. We hope you can attend and meet Don, hear what he has to say for yourself, share your concerns and suggestions and hope for a bright future for downtown San Jose.

BTW, it's also a sneak peek of Kyle Pellet's new show "Spooky Action!".

Sincerely,
Phantom Galleries
