Black Friday... Get something meaningful!

It's black friday, everybody knows it. But did you know that small businesses and local handmade artists are having shopping events today all over the country? Check your community news! Here we have open studio (aosct.org) starting today. There is also a big brazen Betty's info craft sale in Torrington today with an 'occupy wall street by small mall' event as well promoting indipendant crafters and artists! Get out and buy handmade!!!! The reward of supporting your local economy and artists is far better and more satisfying than the chance for a free hunting coat at cabela's....

Shows shows shows!

The past few weeks I have been doing a show a week. Until today I was loosing hope of finding a good show! Today's craft show at the Lebanon fire department was great. Thank you to all who attended. You really made this show a success. Now to gear up for open studio this weekend and open house for 'Flights of Fancy' gallery in stafford ct. Open studio is great!

I will be on hand in tolland at Artsake Gallery. The gallery is on the corner of rt 30 and rt 74. 273 Tolland Stage Rd tolland ct for all you gps goers! Please stop by to see multiple artists and many many live demonstrations! Fri/sat/sun this weekend and the first weekend in December! (nov 25-27 and dec 3-4) Artsakeframing.com

Sunday nov 27th, a yearly event, at 'Flights of Fancy' in stafford springs. It's just a few miles up the road from Artsake on rt 30 is stafford ct. There will be many many artists for the day and entertainment! Everything from spun alpaca done on sight to prints, jewelry, folk art and more! I will be back and fourth from this and open studio (luckily they are just down the road from one another :)

 December 2-4th is also the Tolland 'Art Mart' at the Tolland Art Center on the Tolland green. Friday night Saturday and Sunday. Although I am not required to be there for sales, I will pop in and out thought the weekend. This too is right up the street from Artsake (remember the open studio thing going on at the same time) :)

 So which ever place you go be sure to see great art at all of them :) appreciate art and artists this holiday season and every day throughout the year and as always... BUY ARTIST DIRECT!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!!!
