Working Dinner

Tonight I had my friend and co artist Lynn St. C over for dinner and a brain storming session. My friend Cindy (another artist and friend) couldn't make it because of a paid project she was finishing up. her computer was giving her fits, but she said that she was making progress. After discussing our options for the June 3rd First Friday sponsored by our own Main Street Delaware, we decided that as of this time we just couldn't afford the sponsorship fee. I'm going to write to Main Street Delaware Director Frances Hamilton tomorrow to let her know of our group's decision and that maybe we can work together next year. We're just starting out and right now in this economy $100.00 is a little steep for sponsorship in this community. Since we already have a site we can go ahead for this year with our art show and sale on our own, and hopefully bring more business to the West Winter Street businesses as well. We mapped out our floor plan and Cindy is finishing up our corrected flyers for distribution in our downtown business district. Work is progressing nicely on our displays and now I just need to keep busy working on stock for our show. My Father is working diligently helping me with ideas as well and I really like this, since we have not had that many opportunities to collaborate in recent years. 37 days to go.

June 3rd, 2011 Artisans Gallery Showing

We want all of you to know that a four of Delaware Ohio's newest artisans and I will be hosting a showing and sale of our artistic creations at the Knights of Pythias Lenare Lodge #26 located on West Winter Street beneath the Sherwin-Williams Paint Store. The Lodge entrance on West Winter Street is east of the paint store window. A second entrance is available with a chair lift available descending into the Lodge from the City of Delaware parking lot on Franklin Street behind the Bee Hive Bookstore.

We are looking forward to this event, as all of us are working towards replacing our daytime "Just Over Broke" daytime gigs with something that we absolutely Love.

Descriptions of the items on display and for sale will be posted as soon as we decide on the final draft.

Like most of the downtown businesses we too are open for this First Friday event in support of our downtown Business district. We wish to show and share with the public some of the talents of Delaware's newest Artists. This event will run from 6:00 pm till 9:00pm or until the last tourists have left.

More to come on Monday, 21 March, 2011.


Our event is being held simultaneously but separately from the Main Street First Friday June 3rd "Artful Spaces" self guided tours of 2nd and third floors of our downtown buildings.
