…Great opening at Arthaus66…The maiden voyage of the gallery went quite well despite the ferocious winds and snow. We thought we were dead in the water when it started to rain and then snow really hard…People in Burque get really spooked of a bit of snow…Nobody knows how to drive in this weather so people tend to shy away from going out at all…
Good art and good company…Snacks and lively conversation…We could not ask for more…We were happy to sell two pieces for two of our artists…and we were delighted that all the work and promotion translated into a bit of cash for them (please, whoever is interested can quote me on that)…
Our next show opens on Friday December 7th with the stunning work of Joie Villeneuve. Possibly the last time to see her work in the United States before she moves to Australia…Do not miss this opportunity. It promises to be the best opening of First Friday in town!!!

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
