*RIVERDALE PARK, Christmas Eve, 2013* – Are you a person who’s waited until
the last minute to get that special someone something *really *special and
you still need help with ideas? Great news! You can buy that special
someone special art created by local realistic visual *Malika Bryant *at
Town Center Market. Her solo exhibit is on display through January but, by
special agreement with the artist, pieces bought today and tomorrow may be
taken from the exhibit immediately after purchase.

Malika’s work focus on people of color, with vibrant images and serene
scenery. She has had great training. Malika is the first winner of the
coveted *Gerald King Fine Art Study Award*, being hand selected in 2012 by
Riverdale Park’s renowned realist artist, the late Gerald King. Malika now
serves on the board of directors of the Riverdale Park Arts Council and she
is a member of the Hyattsville Arts Alliance. She is a co-teacher at a
Charter School in Washington, DC where she received an award for most
creative class. She also taught and assisted Instructors at Brentwood Arts
Exchange Creative Arts Summer Camp for 6-to-12 year olds. Her work will
catch your eye and bring joy and delight to anyone who enjoys creativity
and beauty. And what a wonderful experience it is to own original art work!

You can bring joy to a loved one with an original gift of art and support a
local artist at the same time. Town Center Market, at 4705 Queensbury Road
in downtown Riverdale Park, MD is open until 9 this evening and will be
