			<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?

			<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>

			<description>I was contacted by a volunteer from the Make-A-Wish Foundation about donating a piece of jewelry to their silent auction at their wine-tasting event on the 13th.  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>

I don't have everything posted, but am pushing the necklaces until we are done with our shows in mid-November.



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>

As some of you know, I'm working on formulating plans for the next &quot;big&quot; show. With the Gateway Market thing coming up, I'm looking at early September, instead of late August. I'll pass along location details as soon as I have them.



As for the show itself, Shawn had suggested setting up to do body art, to add an &quot;interactive&quot; element. I love the idea, and would like to expand on it by adding other &quot;interactives&quot; -such as technique demonstrations,  ...</description>

Its great to see that we have a show set up for August. Brad you can count me in. I have changed the look of this forum. I also am going to try to get it apart of the Art-A-Holics site as well so we don't need to have two places to go too. I will let everyone know when I get that working. Sorry about the shows topic I fixed that problem.

			<description>I've been in contact with the Director of Marketing for Gateway Market located at 2002 Woodland, just off of MLK and near Ingersoll.  He really wants to meet with a couple of us to discuss the concept of an art show in conjunction with their business.  I've never been there, but he said space is limited.  It seems like it would be a good venue, but those of you from Des Moines might know better than I.  I know their webite said they serve wine, so a possible wine tasting by them is an option.  ...</description>
