Chandelier is an arts salon for local creators hosted by author/songwriter Heather Choate Davis. Neighbors and friends are invited to spend a little time in a cozy space with kindred spirits as we hear from an artist in a different medium and life stage each month. The gatherings take place in The Living Room at First Lutheran Venice, 815 Venice Blvd. They begin at 6:30 with a presentation by the artist and a discussion about their life and work.
At 7:30 there is a reception with refreshments and lively conversation in a warm and easy-going atmostphere. Chandelier is a gift to the community from First Lutheran Venice.
