Pick me! Pick me! This is exactly what I've been wanting. I'm an unpaid amateur so I need someone with experience to teach me the ropes.

I did the Jordan Art

I did the Jordan Art Festival the first year they had it - had a nice story about my art in the JI too. I had mostly my drawings as I was preparing for a show at the time. Didn't sell but a couple of note cards - so it was expensive.
Since then I have done a lot of local photograpy and did consider it this year - but wasn't able to.
As an artist and a photographer it would be nice to have a local space to show, I even considered renting one of the buildings downtown for a studio/gallery. but I need to sleep sometime!
Maybe we should create a co-op and do just that, this group seems to be the most active creatives in Jordan.
Thoughts anyone?

Jayne -

It's interesting that you mention there were no local photography. I've tossed around the idea of having a booth of my own with local images/prints, etc but then get nervous about copyright laws and would anyone really buy my stuff...

I've only lived in Jordan two years, so I don't know if there are ever events like this, but wouldn't it be nice if there was a place where various local artists could hang their work on a rotating schedule or to have a local art show, even if it was in conjunction with a local fundraiser? I would love to be involved with something like that, there are so many possibilites, but don't really know anyone locally to start a project like this.

anyway... welcome back. :)
