Artists Arise

Chris,

I'm sorry about the art show that couldn't go through.  I love the ideas that are coming through. I hope you push forward into something else.  Your work and your website has become so much more defined ....or maybe you've just gotten bolder and braver to share your work.

Keep up the good work :)

Heather, I like your idea about the car dealerships.  I once read about an artist who did something a bit different.  Her work was very soothing and calming and someone mentioned it would be so nice to look at it in dentist's offices.  (I think this is Dan's story from one of the podcasts, but my memory is a bit faded).

Anyways- she started showing her art at dentist conventions...and is now busy full time- selling only to dentists offices!  I've always remembered this story. 

I've thought about marketing my work to a certain group.  For some reason the focused niche approach takes the intimidation out of marketing for me.

Heather that sounds good. Have you tried a car dealership?

Chris.. I remember Dan or someone talking about artist renting places that were having difficulty getting tenants for just an event for free in turn showing off the facility in a positive in use scenario to potentially people who might rent it that were viewing the art show. That's what I would.. and may well do myself :)

Patti, my house isn't big enough so I would have to look for another location . I would like to have a nice atmosphere.

Chris, do you have any friends or your house that is large enough to display art? You could invite people to come to the art show. Just an idea, I have been tossing it around in my head lately.

Thanks for your encouragement everyone. Timmery, I have thought about having my own art show but not sure where I could have it or the cost .

That's disappointing Chris. Could you have a show at a local library or coffee shop? Not the same, I know...

Chris, I understand your disappointment. Keep at it. We're with you!

Here's something new I recently tried: a jitter specifically covered for a man (or maybe for a non-girly aesthetic!).
