It's Amanda...
It is very interesting to see true artists being pulled out of the woodwork. I have been receiving inquiries about exhibiting as an artist in this summer's art-walk via e-mails, phone calls and walk-ins at the studio. I tell everyone the same thing: visit our blog, here's the application, please submit your images if you are interested. It's fun to see only some of those applications come back to me and then of those "some" it is interesting to get only a few phone calls when I request they call to make an appointment to bring in the artwork and read the contract.
I wonder if those are the people that are serious about art... or maybe those are just the "do-ers" of the crowd... or perhaps they are just the ones that are ready to exhibit and the others are still gathering their pieces together... or maybe some are just too shy or not confident enough about their artwork. I don't know... but it's fun to see who gets pulled up and out and into a gallery. I will say this, if you are asked to make a phone call and bring in your work... that's a good thing.
We might be losing a great space in June, but on the bright side, there are still more spaces we can approach in hopes to meander our way through the town over the summer. I'm really having a lot of fun with this art-walk... though I must say... as enjoyable as it is to run it, it's not the same as taking a night off and going to shows that I have not seen before. Not that one is better than the other; It is just a completely different and new experience. I like both. I hope that all of you are really enjoying the other side of this art-walk, because after all, it is for YOU. =)
