Opening night at the Best Sellers Showcase at the The Frank Bette Center
for the Arts in Alameda, October 3rd, 2007.
Artists were invited to join this show after they have shown and sold work at the
Frank Bette Center. There was a good turn out for the fund raiser for the Art center
which is a non-profit community-based arts organization with the goal of creating a
space 'where fine arts, crafts, literary and musical arts meet and thrive'.
Graham Bird had one of his photographs in this show - an image of vibrant
Victorian homes in San Franciscos Haight district. This is Graham's third time
showing at this gallery. Graham loves taking pictures of people, and the street
events in the Bay area. He likes to show the grandeur of life.

From their Website: The mission of Frank Bette Center for the Arts is to fulfill and build upon Frank
Bette Legacy of being a place for meetings, readings, showings, and other creative doings. With respect
and generosity of spirit we nurture a space of creative energy where fine arts, crafts, literary and
musical arts meet and thrive. We build upon this legacy by nurturing the necessary interactions between
the creative arts and creative commerce; knowing that each is essential to the other. In this way we
strengthen the bonds of a healthy community .
