And the Dish goes on......... Opening at the SMITHSONIAN - National Portrait Gallery WDC I wish to thank all of you who were my guest in WDC for a private time in D.C. at the museum in July. The staff love meeting all of you and hope to see u again. For all of you who were unable to make it because of work or you could not make it, please do try, the museum is beautiful. I can not tell you how I felt the day I saw my work in the museum, I was in a daze, to say the least...( lol) Not in my lifetime did I think I would live to see my work in a national museum and know it will be there for all time!! Well its makes me all tingly all over my body (lol). The museum was kind to allow me to ask my family to come. This was very kind on their part. So if you go (to see) the paintings, well, let's see if any of you can tell which ones are mine.....lol On a note, accomplished artist, leatherman and former title holder, Sir Nagrom Monceaux has made the art world news in the nation's capital. The National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute has reopened after a five year renovation. Four fine pieces of Nagrom's work are hanging in the Gifts to the Nation hall, for the world to view. Much can be said about this fine artist. who resides in Baltimore, MD. Our gay community is so fortunate to have him in our midst. To own one of his works would be a treasure. If you are in the DC area it is well worth the time to visit the National Portrait Gallery and all the exhibits, especially to Sir Nagrom work. Several years ago Nagrom donated several of his works of art to the American Brotherhood Weekend auction. The work brought in an astounding $30,000.00 that evening in a matter of minutes. A very special afternoon occurred recently at the National Portrait Gallery. Artist Nagrom Monceaux and special invited friends, family and supporters were on hand to witness the acceptance by the Portrait Gallery officials of Nagroms work. I know of very few (if any) members of the leather community who can lay claim to that honor in the nation's capital. And the Dish goes on.......
