https://www.thecreativenativegallery.com This is a new gallery for me. I was called on Friday by Pam Moody. She is the artist an owner of this eclectic gallery. She found me and my etsy website from the PAVA website. I guess PAVA was good for something after all. I left about 2 dozen pieces with Pam to display both at her gallery as well as the Hard Rock store in Tampa. Hopefully, with the traffic that store sees, my pieces will move, and perhaps, more importantly, I earn a reputation. Getting my name out there is the key to collectors. Time will tell...

The City of Largo sets up a showcase for local artists and performers called Flair for the Arts. No sales are made, Just exposure to the public. It sounds like a great way to show your talent to the local population. I have since applied and been put on the mailing list as City of Largo has several large craft shows every year.

Alas, Somethings were never meant to be. I received my collectable Cool Arts show rejection letter today. So as keeping with my promise to myself, I am taking the submission money and buying a tent to take my pieces on the road. Preparing for the show was good motivation for me to create art, and this small step back will not prevent the future of my creativity.
