FOCUS

I'll be using this group to focus on different aspects of craft arts.

Artist's. Work. Exhibits. Retail & Wholesale Venues. Photography.

Hopefully, some humor as well. (I did say hopefully, I'll hope with you).

Full Description:

I'll be using this group to focus* on different aspects of craft arts.

Artist's. Work. Exhibits. Retail & Wholesale Venues. Philosophy...<Some other stuff I have yet to think of that will be inserted here at some later date or when I get around to it, but I will be sure to use artsy words that grab at people's attention>


I'll hopefully mix in a bit of photography & humor as well, though I can't guarantee the humor portion. Obviously. So far this description is anything but funny. Boring. That's the word for it so far. I will guarantee a bit of boredom.

So, if you need a bit more boredom in your life (and who doesn't?), please join this group.



*To think that it took Brigitte and I months to work out a name for this group. Yes. Months. Really. And for what? "FOCUS"? That was the best we could think of? Seriously?

I am currently quite busy with that "real" job thing.  This is not an excuse, just life.

 

I will be getting back to posting early next year, and will be adding some hints, taking questions, about photography as it relates to art.

 

See ya all soon!

Great name...simple and straight forward...not so esoteric.

"Windfall" would be good too..yes???  There are sooooooo many other issues artists have to deal with other than their "art"...kind of mind boggling.  I am currently struggling with upgrading my camera ...so this is quite timely!!!

And I thought this was going to be an interesting group....

That's right Stevie. Blame it all on me.

Thank Harriete :)

 

2Roses...That read to my eye, when I looked at it quickly, as "SUCKOFF".  This was, of course, the original name for the group but Brigitte thought it was a bit controversial and wouldn't attract the right sort of people.

Focus is ok, but maybe spell it backwards: "SUCOF"

Focus is a good title.

Third time's the charm...

I keep trying to write this blog and get it posted but I seem to run into self inflicted road blocks. I was hoping to have something running by Wednesday. First, I have 2 computers and Ive done bits and pieces on them both. Second, I cant seem to find a wifi hook up when I need it or when I have the draft I want to post. On top of that, there's been very little time away from the conference or visiting family for me to go onkine. Finally, when I was going to post this afternoon, the battery…See More

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately

- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting  in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker. 

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!

FOLLOW ALONG...leave your comments and questions.
