monnalisa 2009 peace ~z
"A few months ago... the folks behind Houston's LUXE HOTEL SORELLA, which will debut as a key anchor of
the new CITYCENTRE mixed-use development in August 2009, emparked on their own journey to re-imagine
the Mona Lisa for it's chic, destination lounge, the monnalisa. A call for entries yielded an array of unique and
impressive takes ... from professional artists and students at the Glassell School of Art, Art Institute of
Houston and the University of Houston.
A noteworth contingent from the Houston arts scene, including Mandy Graessle, Fresh Arts Coalition
executive director; Wade Wilson of Wade Wilson Art gallery; PaperCity arts editor, Catherine Anspon; The
Museum of Fine Art's Claudia Solis; and PR guru and Lawndale Art Center board member, Paula Murphy,
selected winning entries, whose talented creators will receive cash, prizes and cocktails ... Will these
monnalisas end up on the walls of one of our town's top galleries ? It's too soon to know... but in our book ~
literally ~ they deserve a toast."
