At the opening reception for the show on Wednesday evening, March 30th from 6 to 8 p.m. Tobey will be performing on violin with keyboard artist Kirk Ehrenreich. The public is cordially invited to view Tobey's art at the reception party and to enjoy the live music, refreshments and interesting conversation with artists, musicians, educators and others at the event. Admission is free. The Friends of the White Plains Library and The White Plains Library Foundation will each receive 20% of proceeds from all artwork sales for the run of the show through June 15th, which will come to a total of 40% donated by the artist.
The addition of live entertainment at the opening, and the fact that a significant portion of proceeds from any sale of art at the show will benefit the not-for-profit venue has resulted in a considerable amount of attention to it by the media, something that other artists might consider when planning either their own solo shows or their participation in art fairs and festivals.
