Open House by Finishing School

Open House by Finishing School

by | Nov 6, 2005 | Art Events

Well we survived the Open House and it actually turned out to be a great time. We met neighbors we hadn’t met yet. We watched complete strangers walk through the house thinking it was a real open house and we spent some time with friends and family. We even had a couple come that googled "OC cultural events" and read my blog and decided to check it out, that was pretty cool. Anyway, If you are interested in hosting an Open House of your own, just contact the agents at Finishing School and they’ll take care of everything. Some Photos follow:

This woman and her daughter came in to look at the house, thinking it was for sale. When she found out what was going on she started to panic but I told her she was welcome to hang out and check the place out, which she did. She let me take her picture.

The OC Art Blog was created in 2004 as a way to build community and promote the marginalized but dynamic Orange County art scene.
