Opening Reception
I have beautiful friends and family! Pictures are filtering in from my show. Thought I’d share with you all.
My show is being hung today. What a great feeling. I find it so appropo that it’s Mardi Gras too. New Orleans gave me my start and the decade of hard work after gets it’s day at the end of carnival. It’s a great Fat Tuesday!
I am really humbled and thankful to A&I for giving me this opportunity.
I took some iPhone snaps of the progress. Included is the unbound copies of my book. If your in Los Angeles or near by please come out this Thursday and I will sign a copy for you.

7PM – 10PM
I was trapped in a box
in downtown LA
in the dark
i heard a lark say
let me out
i remembered the oak trees
the smell of magnolias lining the streets
the guy with the tuba puff puff puffing
along the magazine
school was out
my window was open
the smell of beer and the bakery
red, beans and rice
i thought i would go there that day for any price
but i was trapped in that box
in the dark
so i stepped out through my mind
and when i put on my mask
it was mardi gras again
and i grinned and flew through the dark
i heard the brass band
i felt the sting of thrown beads from mister tossed too hard on my face
i heard the dabloons on the ground clammering around
i saw the poor and the rich
together
on st. charles
happy
i saw the neighbors cats basking in that sunshine
i remembered my french doors that lead to the toth parade
and those stairs that opened right on the street
i felt the southern rain in the sunshine
and it was mardi gras in my imagination
and i knew that city would always be with me
in my heart

ZOE WISEMAN NAMES WEINGART CENTER AS BENEFICIARY OF HER OPENING RECEPTION
Fiat Lux – Fine Art Nudes Photo Exhibit Helps Homeless Population in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA – January 26, 2010 — The Weingart Center Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves homeless men and women in Los Angeles, is pleased to announce that it will be the beneficiary of Zoe Wiseman’s opening reception for her solo exhibition FIAT LUX – Fine Art Nudes on February 18 at A&I Gallery located at 933 North Highland Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90038. Artist Zoe Wiseman chose to donate 50% of the proceeds from her upcoming opening reception to the Weingart Center because, after living in downtown Los Angeles for a year, she saw how homelessness ravages the human soul.
“It makes me extremely happy that my photography has the ability to help people in need,†states Zoe Wiseman. “The Weingart Center is a beacon for humanity and I’m proud to partner with them to help the homeless.â€

Scott, President and CEO of the Weingart Center Association, “We are excited that a member of the art world is helping make a difference in one of our city’s most critical issues— homelessness.â€
