Just a month after celebrating its one-year anniversary, Aljoya at Thornton Place swung open its doors to the public again for an art show featuring the private collection by Northwest artist Paul Horiuchi.
But Aljoya, located at 450 N.E. 100th St., did more than just offer private tours of the dramatic art pieces to the nearly 200 guests and residents who attended the event. In honor of Horiuchi’s Japanese heritage, Aljoya also served refreshments including sake and plum wine to go with catered sushi along with Pan-Asian hors d’oeuvres from its own Lilly’s restaurant, which is open to the public for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The senior living community has numerous public events planned every month, including the upcoming North Seattle Health and Wellness Resource Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 21. See what else is in store on its events calendar.
The thing about Aljoya is that I see the sign, but I have no idea what it is: that is not effective marketing. Even from this event, I actually do not understand what Aljoya specifically refers to (a cafe? a bistro? the whole complex? part of the complex? a spa?). This is not marketing and publicity that bodes well.
