I receive photographer Jeane Vogel's email newsletter periodically. It just keeps getting better and better, so I'm putting it here to inspire those of you who may be interested in a few of these good ideas:
Ok, I know some of you have heard this three times in the last three years, but I PROMISE this is the last time for a while: I have a fabulous new gallery and studio that I truly want you to see!(1) opened a galleryLast January I opened a small gallery and work studio in ArtSpace at Crestwood Court. In the last year, my studio has been featured in local and national broadcast and print media. The ArtSpace concept has spread around the world -- literally! -- and now artists and retail landlords are teaming up to create new, exciting art destinations.
But we at Crestwood Court were the first.
The studio and gallery have been so successful that I asked for more space ... and was leased a 4000-square foot retail space with gallery lighting. I expanded my gallery 10-fold and have enough studio space to shoot and paint and work -- and teach. I'm in heaven.
Please consider this your invitation to come by. Best time? This Saturday, Jan. 30, from 5-9 for our monthly Art on the Court. Enter at Fletchers.(2) using Facebook to drive trafficAll galleries at ArtSpace will be open and serving light refreshments. Want to know who will be open? Visit ArtSpace on FaceBook.Coming Soon--Guest Artists!
My new gallery is big enough to share! Beginning in February, I will be featuring one new artist each month. Guest artists will be chosen from the membership of the Women's Caucus for Art and will showcase some of the most exciting new art in the St. Louis area.(3) inviting juried artists to exhibit from an arts organizationI'm also inviting some fellow Best of Missouri Hands juried artists to exhibit in the gallery. BOMH is an organization that recongizes artists who have achieved excellence in their media. They are the "best of the best" in the state. I am honored to be a Best of Missouri Hands artist and I want to introduce some of my sister and brother artists to my collectors. You will not be disappointed. Watch for announcements in the next month.

(6) holds workshops to build her audienceWorkshops for Scouts & Homeschoolers
I loved Girl Scouts so much as a kid that I became a leader when my daughter was in kindergarten. Nine years later, I'm still at it!
The bigger studio gives me a chance to help other girls get their art, jewelry and photography themed badges. See whole list of workshops here. Need something for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts? Home schoolers? I can help with that too. Just call (314.918.1717) or email me at jeane@vogelpix.com.
I'm also available for Artist Residencies for your school, youth group, senior center or art organization. Previous residencies include St. Louis Children's Hospital, COCA, Viva Vox, Reform Jewish Academcy, St. Vincent's Home, Traditional Congregation, and many area schools. Call me! 314.918.1717

My studio and gallery at Crestwood Court is open every weekday, 9-6 (sometimes later), most Saturdays from noon-6 and on Sundays & evenings by appointment. If you are in St. Louis, please call me or stop by.
