Happy New Year

Posted by Richard L. Sherer on January 1, 2023 at 11:38am

Happy New Year artists. I'm starting my art year off with a head cold but have a positive outlook of getting caught up on work sitting around the studio and changes in inventory. . My summer show scehdule of three very good shows is set up, housing deposits paid and one will be a family get together in Estes Park (Rocky Mountain National Park). Cabondale, which was a super show last year invited me back early and we will commute from Battlement Mesa, CO which is only an hour away. That will be a big savings on housing in Glenwood Springs-Aspen corridor in July ( rates are higher in summer than during ski season). I hope everyone gets the space they want for easy load in/out, friendly neighbors, great sales and contacts, no wind, rain or snow (yup a possibilty even in July), and safe travels.
