ARCHWAY GALLERY presents SIDEWALKS, Featuring Photographs by Fikry Botros, April 2 through May 5, 2016. 2305 Dunlavy St. Houston, TX 77006 The artist will be on hand to visit with guests during the exhibition opening reception on Saturday, April 2, 2016 from 5 – 8 p.m. at the gallery. The photographs
in this exhibit were taken by the artist as he explored daily life on the sidewalks of various cities around the world. Botros’ favorite photographs are those where the scene is unperturbed
and uninfluenced by his presence. Botros tends to prefer black and white when photographing people but he also uses color when it complements the subject. Three of the photographs in this exhibit have been selected by National Geographic as part of the “Daily Dozen” and “Photo-of-the-Day” features. Based in Houston, Botros is an engineer by education
and spent his entire working career in the Oil and Gas industry. He is a resident member of Archway Gallery. A collection of his photographs is available at his website (www. otros.com).

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, HOUSTON REALLY HEATS UP. FROM THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE STAGE TO THE LOW LIGHTS OF A DANCE CLUB, THE CITY IS ALIVE WITH MUSIC, LAUGHTER AND EXCITEMENT ALL NIGHT LONG. Jack Doyle, aka “The Gorgeous Gael”, was a young man who left Ireland and became a household name as a heavyweight boxing contender, an actor, and a beautiful tenor on both sides of the Atlantic. In honour of his name, Peter Kingston & David Roche (also from Co Cork in Ireland), came together to bring a new concept of an Irish bar to America – a sharper, edgier, brighter design with a strong emphasis on exceptional food, exquisite cocktails, a strong Whiskey oering and a fantastic array of domestic and crafted beers. The Gorgeous Gael represents everything that is truly great about modern Irish entertainment culture – premium customer service, exceptionally creative, top quality food, adventurous, sophisticated drinks and the best musical entertainment in the world. One thing that has not changed is the Irish spirit of hospitality, and the friendship and camaraderie that is unique to the Irish pub environment.
