have an art show

How?

to even HAVE a show. i guess that is my real work and my true goal. from the time i was very small i would draw and paint and draw some more. 6 years of studio art training, and a love of creating art, but i set it aside to be a mom and wife. its not something i regret (not exactly), but now that my daughters are older i owe it to them and myself to initiate. to make. to build. to paint. to create. to express.

might as well I have quite a bit of fabulous work accumilated

Done and done.
Now I just need more.
MORE.

I want to get a objective artist to view my work and also I want a few more paintings in my collection, I have several sketches, craypas, colored pencils, watercolors… I am planning on taking an art class to just have an excuse to have someone professional see my stuff… more later on that.

I’m so happy, I’m having my first art show at a gallery next week, and I am so happy!! It’s just the beginning though. I’m focused now and I have a renewed sense of focus in myself and my art. I’ve done a lot of networking and it paid off this time. I would be willing to help others. There’s a lot of work involved in preparing a show.

I am probably participating in an open studio day in a month and a half, but I want a straight up show. I’m thinking about a month from then. But it’s so tough to have the money and time. I want to build people and lights and loud noises and that’s time and money and money and money and some time also.

is key here for the needed materials. Hard to get when saving for a wedding at the same time on very limited cash. Might have to push this back a few years – get money from some other endeavors to fund this down the road.

Have a job that allows me to network and meet local artists that can help me achieve this. I am so happy.

Doing it right (hell, doing it at all) is an ungodly, time-consuming nightmare. BUT—it’s totally worth it when your art is up and the show opens.
