Art Gallery of Alberta

On St. Patrick's Day Arturo and I delivered our prints to the Art Gallery of Alberta.  It was initially thought that Arturo would deliver the prints while I was away in Nordegg.  But there were some issues connecting with the right personnel from the Sales and Rental department, and so the delivery was delayed a little.  

We each included three prints from the "Apparitions" project, and all six of them were delivered on the afternoon of March 17th.

The contracts that we signed run for a year, after which they could be extended, or the work replaced with new pieces, or simply more work added.  We are just hoping that our work is well received and that someone chooses to rent or buy it.  The proceeds will be shared with the Art Gallery under a formula outlined in the contracts.  We really have no idea what to expect, but the fact that our work is accepted by and made available through such a prestigious gallery hopefully bodes well.

The associate from the Arts Rental and Sales department that we were working with was quite excited to get some photography for their inventory.  Many of the pieces that they have available are large paintings and of course these come with a higher price tag.  Large pieces are also limiting in that they are only suitable for display in larger spaces.  Both Arturo and I are excited and optimistic about this opportunity.

While we were at the Art Gallery, the hitch was stolen off my truck.  I was parked right in front of the Courthouse.  Apparently someone needed it more than I do.....
