It was excellent and they made big bucks on a once a year auction that paid for classes, etc.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Joanna. Maybe David will start a private blog like your father. :)<BR/><BR/>Mom, JoJo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-18627208850716969632007-09-07T10:28:00.000-05:002007-09-07T10:28:00.000-05:00Nice post, Mom.

It had lots of art galleries, but the one that caught my eye was a place divided into small cubicles where artist each had their own "small" studio and gallery. It was pretty neat. It made me think of the antique malls at home where people rent a small space in one giant room. Then they share people running the whole business. It could be done with artists.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-46968477012912034392007-09-07T05:27:00.000-05:002007-09-07T05:27:00.000-05:00Mom,I think you need to do what makes you the happ...Mom,<BR/><BR/>I think you need to do what makes you the happiest and enjoy life:) he heDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361903069810829456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-17043654237286320912007-09-07T00:26:00.000-05:002007-09-07T00:26:00.000-05:00Thanks, Rose.

I think it is sensible to know where your priorities are...and to say that art isn't the first priority, but the priority that you give it will receive the best that you can give...well, that sort of strategy is how to be successful at life, imho. Looking forward to the days ahead!Rose Weltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313411909909580181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-23609016500276595582007-09-06T21:41:00.000-05:002007-09-06T21:41:00.000-05:00Katherine, Thanks for coming by and commenting.

I will mention that when we start the postings.<BR/><BR/>The co-op idea may work. We need someone for the summer! We are sure working on what to do. There is an art group with gallery, but we want our own thing. Heh, heh.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we will win the lottery!<BR/><BR/>JoJo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-25814811117129014802007-09-06T19:50:00.000-05:002007-09-06T19:50:00.000-05:00Plus I forgot to mention that I always find that w...Plus I forgot to mention that I always find that workshops are really great places for comparing notes with other people about what they want to do and have achieved - they;re great for giving me food for thought. I hope you get that too.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792638.post-22878637657793280522007-09-06T19:47:00.000-05:002007-09-06T19:47:00.000-05:00Jo - I'm pleased to see you are also becoming part...Jo - I'm pleased to see you are also becoming part of a cyberchums group. I highly recommend doing as much as you are confortable with while not creating any uncessary stresses which take away the enjoyment that art can offer.<BR/><BR/>Is there maybe scope for a local artists' co-op arrangement re a studio/gallery?Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.com
