COFFEE CLATTER and more...
Just got back from the Redmond Chamber of Commerce Friday Coffee Clatter. What fun! I had 10 of my books and 2 triptychs of original illustrations from "The Golden Pathway" and "The Town of Masquerade" on display. High Desert Society of the Arts was hosting the Clatter today which allowed us to show the business community who we are and what we do. I sold 2 books after wards and got some people very interested in Guardian Angel Publishing.. Other members brought examples of their art work and some of them sold work too. I think we made a good impression!
I spent my 2 minutes showing the books from the 2 kids who were the Winner and Runner Up from the 4th Grade Writing Contest. Most of the Chamber Members knew nothing about this project. We explained how Kai Strand helped judge the writing and I judged the illustrations this year. This is the contest shared by HDSA and the Writer's Guild. We generated a lot of buzz among the Members with this.
Four of us took on various brief little speeches to say how we help the community in various art-related endeavors. It opened some eyes when they realized we are not an artists' group but an ART group. We used this platform to ask for members willing to help us go forward with with more community involvement and the importance of all forms of art to the education of our children. We now have a lot of interest!
