In the literal sense of the word. Well, it was to be expected. When remodeling or building, always expect at least a 20% increase in expense and time…It seems to always happen this way.
The gallery is coming along…More expense than anticipated, but it should look beautiful in the end…So much nicer than out own home! Perhaps we should move into it…
We are having a nice reception from artists who are participating in the Grand Opening…The invitations should be here very soon…Very talented artists (some renewing their collaboration with Arthaus66 and some new) are sending us very good pieces to exhibit…It should be a great first show!

The contractors are all lined up for the renovation of ARTHAUS66 and we’ll be off soon. Black Friday is the deadline we are keeping ourselves to. Ambitious, but possible. The space is looking great: sleek, contemporary and innovative. Hopefully, unique in this town.All our eggs are in one basket, so to speak. It is indeed a gamble but we are confident that we will be able to pull it off. We have some wonderfully talented artists collaborating with us and now that our visibility and our reach in the arts community has grown, we will be able to promote them so much more successfully than before.
Keep your eyes on local papers such as THE, IQ and the Alibi for listings and also for a great advertising campaign that we are about to launch…It is very funny…
News to follow…Good ones, I hope….In the meantine, check it out at www.arthaus66.com

Please, let everyone be ok…More than ever those who took our hearts…Just a wish..That’s all.

…is the cold, hard sale made to someone you have never even met…Nothing interferes with the genuine love for the artwork…No friendship, employment or relationship of any kind play a part in the connection with the buyer…Feels great…and they are happening quite frequently nowadays…
“Nereid” is leaving soon as well. I think “Adrift” (actually it is the second time I use that title…what does that mean?) is also going away…Another donation for Planned Parenthood is almost ready and then…we’ll see.
There have been some interferences…both internal and external…Doggy surgery with a great outcome…A stomach bug that has demolished all good intentions of a busy and productive week…Changes in employment…A new schedule…Prospective trips for loved ones…Too many things for someone like me who appreciates the solidity of a well oiled routine and despises any kind of surprise…
Sometimes I just wish for peace…but don’t we all.
