Step two
A while back I told you about my new commercial ventures in the Philly area and my ideas about how to proceed.
That "venture" was nothing but a website back then... but thanks to a great 2007 as far as sales of my own artwork, step two is now ready for implementation and I will now participate in some art fairs and try to sell some of the art by the artists whose work I believe in and try to really promote here...
Wondrous people like Tim Tate, Marienela de la Hoz, Sandra Ramos (and a huge assortment of other Cubans) and all the good folks here.
Using the "war chest" of Samolians from sales of my own work, I have saved enough work to pay for the exhorbitant fees for three major art fairs, plus insurance, plus shipping, plus hotels, etc.
Plus pushing them to collectors on this blog! Thank God that my instincts have been dead on! Not just focused on "my" artists but all others on my "buy now list," most of which I don't represent.
But... I should have bought more Tim Tate and more Marienela, and more Amy Lin, and more Scott Brooks!
Anyway... here's my next art venture in its present form.
Step three: Enough $$$ to pay rent for a year in advance and open a new Philly space!
