"Shake, Shake, Shake"- Cocktail parties are always away to invite friends over for conversation, to thank them for friendships, and to talk about projects they are working on in a nonformal setting. Make sure your list is balanced with artists, collectors, gallery owners, board members, and a few new friends from outside the normal circle, for the cocktail party to be a social engagement to bring new patrons into the gallery.

I like to make something special, there is an art to mixing drinks, and it is to making food. I'm busy flipping cheese quesadillas. I provided a condiments bar. (jalapeno peppers, avocado, sour cream, salsa, onions, cilantro, and my own mixed salsa with extra garlic and spicy peppers). This was a winner!
