Our annual Lemonville Group of Artists 2025 Art Show and Sale is over for another year, and was considered a success, even though the economy isn't flourishing right now. A total of 23 paintings were sold over the 2.5 days.... actually a good number considering we are 14 people, a mixture of amateur artists, some have been painting for most of their lives, and some are beginners.
There's a lot to do to put on a show like this. We use a local Community Centre, and the Town workers install the lights and the picture hanger wires, and set up the tables for us. The art works are hung on Friday afternoon, ready for the opening at 7pm. Of course lots of advertising needed, signs to be installed in the neighbourhood, snacks and nibbles and lemonade to be provided to our patrons, wrapping for the sold pictures, soothing music in the background.
I was astonished (and very pleased) that I actually sold four pieces. It's very satisfying to think that something I created will be hanging on the wall of someone's house. I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
...we are going to a student art show on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteA talented group! That's great that there were so many sold. As you say, in this economy it is uncertain if people will buy art. I am gladbyou pointed out your work; it was a pleasure to see them.
ReplyDeleteI love your work and am pleased that it sold. Isn't it lovely to think of it being cherished in another home.
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful. I wish something like this was part of my community (small and isolated in Northern Alberta).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Beautiful work. Such a great exhibit!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite fun! What a project.
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are marvelous! Congrats on the sales! I went to two different local community art shows a couple of weekends ago -- the end of April is a popular time for Spring Art Shows here too. Always enjoyable to see people's work!
ReplyDeleteBig congrats on selling 4 of them.
ReplyDeleteThat is great news! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIt’s always great to support local artists. I did exactly that this weekend even though I have no more wall space!
