“Human beings have mastered the art of self sabotage now it’s time for us to master the art of self-love”, says co-curator Dana DellaCamera. Imagine a world where you are lit up with excitement because of the miracles you are creating for yourself. Where you allow yourself to dream, trust, develop, risk, expand, take action and create without limitations! When we listen to our hearts and trust our inner selves we experience a burst of energy and discover our true purpose. That is the concept and focus of the show. “On Cloud 9” is an inspirational and innovative journey through art where the soul is realized and takes flight. The show will leave you elevated. Come evolve with us and let your spirit soar!
There will be several featured artists on each of the 3 gallery floor levels. On the first floor, up and coming industrial design innovator, Jeff Olivier will be revealing his newest works.

The third floor will be transformed into a retro lounge playing ethereal music by the infamous DJ One Star with refreshments provided by Zen Bartending. Entrepreneur and emerging artist Jessica Kizorek will be showing her first “Inner Light” series featuring back lit art that is sure to create a dynamic and sheik ambiance. Kizorek’s pieces will be complimented by photographer Melisa Caprio who wants to know, “What are you manifesting?” This is the question she asks in her latest project “Postcards to the Universe”. Caprio was inspired to use photography to help people manifest their desires. Through her own desires being fulfilled she wanted to inspire others to do the same and capture the experience through her art. People from all over the world write their Affirmations on postcards and mail them to her. She then photographs the cards in nature and compiles them to give people the opportunity to see their Affirmation in a published book, Postcards to the UniverseTM. A portion of the proceeds from the book are used to benefit different organizations around the world. At the gallery opening there will be an interactive activity for guests to write their own manifestations and be part of the magic and art.
Performing artist, singer and songwriter Dana DellaCamera will performing inspired numbers throughout the evening with choreography by Stephanie Espinosa. Dana is known for her surprise entrances and audience participation. She guarantees to be entertaining, creative, and daring, a must see for the evening.
