What is The Matthew Event ?
The Matthew Event has taken over two years to put together. Matthew Oghene felt it was time to expand and work with other like-minded models. The Matthew Event promises artists an experience worth every penny. These live performances and seminars are open to anyone willing to exprience a new way of approaching art .
Matthew Oghene will be working with fellow friend Lorraine Smith founder of Silversmith Dance Theatre . Lidia and Paulene are in sharp contrast are worthy models to work alongside Matthew. Both Matthew and the other artist models will do a variety of poses to please everyone at the event. In 2012 The Matthew Event will be rebranding the events it's offers to the general public. This will include seminars on discussions including the human form and speech. The Naked Butler Service began operating in January 2012. There are more events that are in pre-production.
