			<description>I'd like to organize a show for the group for February or March.



I'd like to do something upscale.



I have a friend who will let us use condo space at the Liberty building for no charge.

We can do appetizers and wine.

I can create a mailing list of patrons of the arts, political operatives (just on the left, I don't know too many right leaners).

I would also like to have a classical musician if possible, at a minimum some low key (but not hidden in a corner) but fabulous musician.  ...</description>

<br />
The show was a huge success from the feedback I received.  Thanks to everyone for making it such a great show.  I am going to send Hubbell Realty a thank you along with a couple of photos.  I hope they welcome us back again.  I'm quite sure they will.

The money will go toward paying for the hosting and domain. Any extra would go toward development of future features including e-commerce so we can have a show going 24 online.

			<description>I spoke with the public relations person at Hubbell Realty, the company that own the Kalidescope at the Hub, about a possible Art-A-Holics art show.  He said that they generally reserve the space for non-profit groups and educational purpose.  I did say that I could send him an e-mail proposal and he would pass it along to the property manager for his/her input.  A few questions.



Do you want me to propose it as an art for sale show or just an art showing?



Would December 5 or 12 be okay?

It's a great, challenging project and it's for a good cause - so I hope some more of you will be willing to participate. I got my mirror last year at Goodwill for $5.

			<description>I have penciled in the date of November 29 for a Art Show at The Village Bean Co. in the East Village. I have two spots already spoken for. Which are Brad and I (James). There would probably enough room for 5 or 6 different artists to set up. It could be a Art-A-Holics show if we want to or not. It doesn't matter to me. If anyone else interested It would be during the day and I think it might be a good day to have a show on. She is also charging us nothing to put it on. If your interested let  ...</description>

I'll put more contact information up when I have it.  Again, a great organization, great way to support the community, as well as a great way to get your name and art seen.</description>

			<description>Well, unfortunately, the Halloween show will not be happening. Amy was looking into getting some kind of &quot;paranormal&quot; show in the theatre on Halloween night, plus there's just not enough time to do all the planning and marketing. Maybe next year.



That being said, I have talked to her about doing a Christmas-themed show in early December, possibly Friday the 5th. I think we can have a lot of fun with it. We could do door prizes, put up a Christmas tree and lights, and oh so much  ...</description>

			<description>OK we've talked about having an Art Day out at Shawn's shop, which sound like a great idea. We mentioned this Saturday as a possibility but no one responded, so maybe we can schedule one in a few weeks? On a Saturday or Sunday? We want to invite more friends and acquaintances, so we need to schedule in advance.</description>

The site is www.libertyandcompany.com .  



I know that this probably isn't the correct place to post this listing, but what can I say?  I'm a nonconformist.    </description>
