Saturday night Solana Beach lit up with the opening party for the Aaron Chang Gallery. Over 600 people turned out for the inaugural event, one of the largest turnouts the Cedros area has seen. As part of the Aaron's continued efforts to give back, 10% of the evening's sales were donated to the Surfrider Foundation. Starting at 5 and peaking at 9pm hundreds of people passed thought the space to see a combination of Aaron's classics mixed with new works, some shot as recently as last month. Aaron was blown away with the reception and thankful for all the people that made the event one of the highlights of his career.
Special thanks to Barefoot Wine for sponsoring the event. Thank you to Mae Chan for the beautiful flowers. Thanks to Barbara and Dan McFarland, and to Holly, Fred and Zack Burch for their generous support. Thanks to the crew at Digital 1 for the beautiful prints and Yael and Jim at Once Upon a Frame for the extraordinary framing. And to all our friends, too many to mention, for their love and support, "We couldn't have done it without you!"

Great photos of the event... which probably goes without saying since we ARE talking about an Aaron Chang event.
