I had a wonderful time at last night’s First Saturday Art Crawl in downtown Nashville! I was a featured artist in The O Gallery. Although I didn’t make any sales last night (most people come to the Art Crawl just to look), I received a lot of positive feedback and gave out a ton of business cards!
The “Avenue of the Arts” (5th Ave) and The Arcade were covered with people. The O Gallery was so packed that people were waiting outside the door!
My work will remain on display at The O Gallery (2nd floor of The Arcade off 4th Ave) for the entire month of August. Didn’t make it to the Art Crawl last night? You’re in luck! The O Gallery will be open every Saturday from 1-4 PM and I will be there on Aug. 17 and 31.
