Gail’s weekend in Palm Springs, CA

By Gail Gaynin

On Sunday, March 1, 2009 I participated in the 11th Annual Hike 4Hope in the beautiful Indian Canyons of Palm Springs, CA.  The hike was started by my friend Eileen Stern, to raise funds for women’s cancer research, treatment, and educational programs at the world renown City of Hope Hospital.  I am proud to say that our team, Same Time Next Year Gals raised $13,755.00 so far, which puts us in first place for fund raising amongst over 50 teams. City Of Hope’s research is also shared with medical centers worldwide, improving the lives of millions, so you can click through here to donate!

Another benefit of my fabulous weekend in Palm Springs was that I got a personal tour of the town by one of MGI’s own, Dave Calver.  The first stop on our tour was a trip to Rt. 66, a gallery where Dave currently has a show. In this day of digital files it was wonderful to once again see Dave’s original work.

Dave Calver will be exhibiting his work with Brad Benedict’s Sideshow “NowBrow” at the Wal-Art Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. The opening reception is on Saturday, Sept 20th from 7-11 and the show runs until October 23rd. This is the second show in the Sideshow exhibition series- the last one Dave was in, “Moods for Moderns,” got a writeup and a spread in popular art magazine “Juxtapoz”- so who knows what this show will bring!
