Our show and booth on the NY Now
August, 2017
It wasn't quite the display we wanted. A little dark with a poorly chosen background. My fault. We drew glimpses by me asking busy folks to take a look. Else they won't even notice the booth. And we were at a show where no one was showing painting, much less high end art.
The truth is I did a rather poor job at presenting the great works our artists made. I could count the many mistakes I made but it is all over now (not the artwork but the show) We need to move forward.
To those who took the card I gave and are now finding yourself
reading this, thank you for coming. Another truth is that if you were to
buy any one of these - you shall have made a good investment. I am only selling
now at considerably lower prices because I need money to keep our creative
artists going. Never mind for the moment if I lose a lot of money.
Maybe in the future I can break even. Then we can get the artists going
indefinitely while their work get even better. The whole point is the show
that artists even those without formal training including some former drug
addicts among them - can be made to work responsibly to produce good art if
given the freedom to make their own art, and they can be happy even with
just meager salary. (Of course I intend to raise pay soon as sales allow. )
If you love art and would be happy to know you've helped another
"starving artist" - that would be anther good reason why you should buy one of
these. Another thing - these are one of a kind - our artists just keep making
new ones. I came to the Show hoping I might get more artisans engaged by getting
bulk orders. Yes - there were interested buyers - unfortunately they found
the prices too high. But that's about the best I can do considering we
will be starting off and training new artisans. I can ill afford to gamble
that at this stage.
So the prices you see below are really total give away. If there is something
you like - you had better send me an email right away - or somebody could beat
you to it. (No need here for the informal shopping cart , I like to get to
know people specially those who possess an item I love. I also want to
keep track of where theses works are going. I ill always keep a copy of
the items here - and who knows someone might beg you to sell what you own for
much higher price than you paid for. I have a feeling prices could go up so -
that's another reason that you should act now.
If you have come this far - thank you for reading
