Sponto Evolution TONIGHT! Saturday at Artisan Venice 7pm-12 Midnight

SPONTO: Venice Icon, Mayor of Venice, Patron of Artists, ARTIST

This special event at the new gallery Artisan Venice is more than just a tribute to a Venice icon, Sponto, who passed away unexpectedly and way too soon in 2008.

The event tonight features artists of all kinds: Visual, Musical, Poets - this is in  a similar light to what Sponto did at Sponto Gallery, which was at 7 Dudley Av. in Venice for about 20 years. Come to this celebration tonight and experience the Sponto magic!
