Third Friday Art Walk Map

Today was an interesting day.  I've been working on a map for the downtown Medford galleries for the Third Friday Art Walk.  I was at Art du Jour today for my co-op one-day-per-month workday and was able to get outside for a bit, so I took the opportunity to visit the local businesses shown on my map.  The goal was to find out which businesses stay open for the Art Walk, which is 5-8 pm on the third friday of each month.  I met some great people, but also walked into a few hornet's nests.  The good thing is....I hate politics, even small town politics, so was able to plead "new girl in town" innocence....which in fact I am.  I have managed thus far to avoid getting involved.  Anyway, I hope the map helps get people to the downtown area.  I think i will pass them out around the area, try to build some interest.

The Good and The Bad

First for todays "positives".  My paintings at Art du Jour.  Was so happy to have some of my larger pieces up.

I almost tripped walking into the gallery when I saw my painting in the window.  I wasn't expecting that.  Nice surprise.

And I changed a few paintings at Organic for my final month of the exhibit.  Now for the "negatives".  Ugh, why do I let this stuff get to me so much?  My goal for 2012 was to submit for 5 different gallery exhibits.  I got two rejections in one day.  And one was from BAM, which is the art museum I really wanted to be part of.  The skin gets thicker and thicker...

Revolution Gallery

I decided since I'm having such a hard time doing festivals with just a Vespa for transportation....sigh, to find galleries to represent my work. My clocks are going to be available exclusively at Revolution Gallery at Gilman Village in Issaquah. They also have some of my cards and smaller paintings.
