Holiday Open Studio Helps Animals of AFRP
3200 Crescent Avenue, Marina
December 9, 2012, 11 am – 4 pm
Zmak Creative opens its Marina studio for a special one-day sale of fine art photography by Steve Zmak and handcrafted jewelry by Tina Zmak. The Holiday Open Studio features limited and numbered edition photographs, lithograph prints, notecards, A Year in the Vineyard books, and a preview of the Alaska exhibit, and more. It also features earrings, necklaces and wine charms created with gemstones, cultured freshwater pearls and crystals. Most items — including lithographs, notecards, earrings and wine charms — are priced at $15 or less. To thank local patrons for their support, Zmak Creative will reduce the price of matted and framed photos from $400 to $250, and matted prints will be reduced from $300 to $225 for this one day only (these below-cost specials on matting and framing apply to existing inventory only.) Steve will also preview selected photos from his trip to Alaska this past summer and new photos from his Vineyard Photography Workshops in the Santa Lucia Highlands. 10% of all the sales from the event will be donated to Animal Friends Rescue Project in Pacific Grove. Free. www.zmakcreative.com/elementz (jewelry) 831-883-4459.
