He Said, She Said Opening
One sale, albeit still not consumated, during the show. I am waiting to receive payment so that, in turn, I can get the Factory their commission…The initial payment for the space has already been made….and the garbage taken out, the nails plucked from the walls, the thumbtacks removed, the counters wiped clean, the surfaces dusted off….all those things that one does not expect to do prior to a show…They’re done and all is well. A deal is a deal…and lesson learned.
Thank you to Mr. Evan Small for being so helpful and diligent. Thank you for his beautiful artwork and for facilitating the sale….Perhaps, he’s the one who deserves the commission…He brought in a very nice group of people that we hope to see again in future shows…As for “our” group of people, with the exception of the most reliable and enthusiastic of couples (you know who you are), the rest of the guests don’t seem to be worth the ink on the invitations…Disappointed, yes… Saddenned, a bit… It’s not that I am expecting people I know to actually make a purchase…I’ve learned that is a bit too much to ask…but I would like some of the self-proclaimed art lovers to make an appearance in support of local artists such as myself….Don’t get me wrong…I miss the ocassional show here and there…that is completely understandable…but I realize now that there are some people in my so call “circle” that have no intention of ever showing up to anything no matter how many invitations I personally deposit in their very hands…
…It is also their loss…They are missing out on some honest art, great friends and some darn good food…particularly at Arthaus66. The guests who did attend (about 100 or so) were as enchanting as they were supportive. We appreciate your presence at the “He Said, She Said” opening…Thank you all…
