Know your event objective. If the aim of the event is to educate people then the entertainment is not the key element of the event. You would do better to use some light form of entertainment during the break to help attendees unwind and rel Music is a vast sea and there are lots of singers in the world who earn so much fame because of their singing, voice and style and Rob Thomas is one of them. He is one of the best singers whose songs become very popular and he has great fan
The paintings of Iranian-American artist Shabnam Yousefian are as rich in figurative detail as they are profound in the abstract elements contained within. Much of Yousefian’s work is inspired by a childhood in Iran and the restrictions and inequality she grew up with as a girl/woman. Themes of freedom and independence still pervade her work, and through the art she seeks to demonstrate that reality isn’t always what can be seen and/or felt using the five senses. Combining realistic figurative and landscape renderings with abstract elements, Yousefian demonstrates to the viewer that things are not always what they seem and highlights the implicit deception in outward appearances.Above all, Yousefian’s goal is to demonstrate to viewers that our experiences in life cast a reflection on us along with our surrounding environment, which is as inexplicable as it is weighty. It is through our recognition of life’s reflections that we’re able to better understand our context and journey. As she so eloquently states, “reflection reveals the hidden realities”—a truth revealed again and again in her work.Shabnam Yousefian lives and works in Claremont, California.

This small, concentrated group represents the many ways of paying attention to detail - in portraiture, in landscape, even in non-representational works. Three of the included artists are interested in setting the scene for us. One paints the terrain from a traditional distant viewpoint, but his images are gauzy and stylized: one city skyline appears as pure black on gray, looming through a fog, while another has buildings that resemble a family of brightly colored giants. The other two landscape painters give us street-level scenes, one depicting a vibrant watercolor world of sea sides and fishermen, the other offering rich, hyper realistic urban streets in oil. In both, the essence is of the moment. The exhibit’s abstract artist creates beautiful, understated textures with her acrylic, often in monotone to make the patterns sing all the more. The mixed-media portraits are premier examples of character studies: unapologetically unique women depicted in both traditional and non-traditional contexts.
