Hey guys, happy to say that I got into the Starving Artist Market for this coming April at the Charlotte Art League building!
I will be located indoors for this market, and I will be primarily showcasing Artimis Studio related prints at Local Prices! I will also be taking commissions, and have various fine arts available for sale as well! I hope everybody can come out and check it out! You can check out the event page on Facebook here Hopefully, by this date, I'll have Seraphim (pictured below) completed, as well as an Easter oriented piece to compliment Clover! It was such a wonderful experience to come out and sell work for CHarlotte Reflect!
I met new people, I sold some work, I met great artists, new sources of inspiration, saw a fashion show, heard some amazing new local music! It was just a great experience all around. I got some valuable experience, and all of the hardware necessary, for booth setups, save for a large 10x10 tent, and stuff for larger festivals. I'm super excited about this, because it gives me the opportunity to bring my art to local events, and I am in the process of applying for the Starving Artist Market here in Charlotte! Here's hoping I get in and get a chance to experience a different type of market! I actually had people telling me I should RAISE my prices. Can you believe that? I've spent a lot of my history creating art and having it valued less by people, but here I was, valuing my artwork too little! It was just nice to know that these customers would still be customers at higher price points. That being said, because of my focus on accessibility, I likely won't change my pricing model unless it's absolutely necessary! I can go to another RAW Artists tour somewhere out of state because of my tour incentive, this means I can do a show without a ticketed event, so I have at least one more show with RAW and I'm super excited to redeem it and see how my experiences are in that one! I'll keep you guys updated on that and how it turns out! I'm excited to bring you more events soon. I'm hoping my next post is a post about the wiring, framing, and set-up for Leon's Salon. After that, I might have news of a new showcase, and then finally, I'll post something about my shared show in Legion Brewing as well! The Charlotte Reflect Show will be this Wednesday, in just two days! I'm finalizing the final stages of setting everything up for this event and I'm super excited to see how it goes! I hope everybody can come out and I'll make a post about it shortly after the experience!
I'm happy to announce in the 10 days since I posted an update, I've managed to confirm two different showcases, one with Legion Brewing in Plaza Midwood of Charlotte, where I'll be exhibiting two of the Dark Days pieces! It'll be up for the month of March and a few days in April! I'm also going to be showcasing in Leon's Salon on Tate Street in Greensboro, where I will be exhibiting four of my abstract hair drawings! It'll come up on March 2nd, and ends sometime in May or June!! Work will be available for sale at these events! I've ALSO entered my last year of the CPCC Student Show, I'm super excited about the pieces I've submitted and I'm really hopeful to make it in this year as my final year! That's two, possibly three showcases to show you guys! I'll make individual posts of each, as they come up and setting up the work and showing the work to you guys, ALONG with a post about the Charlotte Reflect event soon! Hey guys, its been a really hectic week!
So, last Friday, I found out that tickets are available only until February 20th! After which you can ONLY purchase them at the door for $30... I had planned to go through and personally notify everybody, but my computer fried as I got back in Charlotte! I've spent the last week figuring out and coordinating getting my laptop repaired, finding out it can't be repaired, scrambling to recover the files on it, and hitting every obstacle in the book! I will have my files recovered by the end of this week, and I just got a new computer. I'm both excited about the new things and my wallet is crying quite a bit. Anyhow, I've got good news! I'm pleased as punch to announce that I've found a few potential showcases that I will be mentioning in the not so distant future, there are four or five that may or may not be happening at the end of this month, and if they work out, it'll be a really great experience. These will give me opportunities to showcase art in both the Charlotte AND Greensboro area, much earlier than I previously anticipated. Here's hoping my stroke of bad luck is followed by good luck... I'm hoping to showcase a few more Prints oriented shows, but I also hope to showcase some ceramics, portraiture, and drawing! What does that mean for you guys? Expect to see more work! More posts! More products! New products! New ideas! |
