Co Exhibition World Craft Fair: Dec. 10th

Since its inception, CO Exhibitions has been a space dedicated to sharing creativity with the community. On Saturday, December 10th, we will be inviting over two dozen local crafters and artisans to showcase their handmade goods in our 2nd annual holiday season craft sale.... This is the perfect chance to avoid the mayhem and monotony of the mall by picking up unique holiday gifts made by independent locals. From clothing to jewelry to greeting cards to screenprinted art prints to toys to beef jerky, every booth will have something different and special in store.

ENJOY...

Art Brawl Opening Photos

Last Friday was the opening of "Art Brawl" at AZ Gallery in St. Paul. Thanks again to everyone who made it out. If you missed the opening, the show will be up until November 27th (so there is still plenty of time to go check it out!)

Cheers,

Art of Business

From time to time I like to remind the readers of this blog (and myself) that what we do as artists is not only fun, but it is business. It's not always the most fun thinking about the business side of things, but certainly important.

I've stumbled upon a really great blog with a lot of useful information. The post dates are creeping up with age, but I still think they are relevant articles. There is everything from taxes, to contracts, to pricing your work, and more.

Koi

Some new paintings for your enjoyment. These will be for sale at the MCAD Art Sale in 2 weeks.
