Results of 8/14 Artists Alive and Well Meeting

Thanks to everyone who came to last night's Artists Alive and Well meeting. The turnout was great (in spite of the miscommunication about getting into Archway Gallery). I apologize to anyone who came and missed us -- while the gallery was still closed, we improvised and met in the Epicure Cafe nearby, then toured Archway at 8PM.

We had a lively discussion about what we want to do procatively to forward our artist careers. We all agreed that the next step we want to pursue is creating our own show. I've investigated several galleries and talked to the owners. One gallery that has space available for a monthlong show (at least the last time we talked) is Eastman Gallery. I shared my impressions from visiting with Richard Eastman and touring the gallery. A couple of artists who attended already have art in Eastman Gallery, and they shared what it's like to have their work displayed there.

The group agreed that it'd be a good idea to attend the Artists' Night at Eastman Gallery this Friday, August 17. The open house starts at 6PM -- AND WE AGREED TO MEET AT 7PM. After we tour the gallery, get a sense of the space and the ambiance, and hopefully talk to the owner, Richard Eastman, we'll adjourn to Cafe Express in Uptown Park for more conversation.

PLEASE JOIN US AT EASTMAN GALLERY OR AT CAFE EXPRESS. SINCE I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG WE'LL STAY AT THE GALLERY, PLEASE PHONE ME (281-451-3808) ABOUT 8PM TO FIND OUT WHEN TO ARRIVE AT THE CAFE.

In the meantime, if you have any other ideas or inspirations about where to exhibit our work, please email me. I look forward to your partnership in creating an outstanding Artists Alive and Well show.
