The next time you do something in Rochester, please let me know. I go there now and then to visit my brother.
That bars are a good place for a show surprises me. You sell stuff there, or just have fun? Coffee shops I can understand, but bars?!
I had restaurants that people put shows up in. Sometimes they sold stuff, but often that was only to me. I was always shocked at how much work it is to put a show up. I loved one of your posts that showed clotheslines and clips to hang unframed or stretched art. so friendly, and tactile.
I will let you know. I have a solo coffee shop show scheduled sometime in October. That’s all for now, but it’s early in the year. Opportunities pop up in correlation with spring flowers.
I did very well at the Tap & Mallet in Rochester in 2018. Half of the paintings sold. Makes perfect sense to me. Alcohol coaxes bravery to gamble and purchase art:)
I had land in Sterling several years ago, right next door to the Renaissance Fair. When I stayed overnight on summer weekends, there would be an all day stream of cars pass. Not a usual occurrence in rural upstate NY. How could I ignore such an opportunity? I’d hang my paper paintings on a clothesline and sit in the shade for hours. I did this a few times each year for several summers. Sold one. I am still the fool who has not become wise by persisting in his folly. C’mon Mr. Blake, how much longer must I wait? 😀
Thank you!
