I didn't realize that I hadn't posted this blog entry from Art-A-Whirl 2014!
Thank you to everyone who came out. It has been a dream of mine to be in Art-A-Whirl since we moved to Minneapolis. I always thought someone might let me use a little space on their walls. I never expected to have a full blown studio in one!
5 artist share this space. 2 photographers and 3 architect needed an art outlet!
The place was packed all weekend! Really wonderful to meet so many people and discuss art. We worked so hard to get this set up and it was worth it.
This image is typical of how many people were in the studio the whole time. Leo really did great with the people and even tried to sell some art.
My friend Pat Mackey stopped by wearing the required architect black shirt.
The T-Rex! got the most attention of everything I had posted. I sold several prints. T-Rex! is back in Hazels NE for the time being. I have sold prints to or created new cardboard pieces for several people since the show.
Lots of friends who stopped by are in this picture.
The NewStudio Architecture crew came by!
Indeed Brewery and the band outside kept the place packed. There was so much fun stuff going on that it was crazy.
Leo had fun.
Our hallways are also art galleries. We are at the end of the hall so this gives a good indication of how busy it stayed.
Another shot of the common space.
The space is was only empty before the start and after!
Art-A-Whirl was a blast. We will be open most First Thursdays if anyone wants to visit and see what we are up to. Thanks for all the support of our art. It really helps!
